✨ Tekniske specifikationer

Crafted by the legendary 'King of Beaujolais,' Georges Duboeuf, the 'Reine des Grs' (Queen of Sandstones) is a distinguished expression of the Saint-Amour Cru. This wine pays homage to the unique terroir of the region, specifically the ancient pink sandstone ('grs') and clay soils that define its vineyards. Made entirely from the Gamay grape, the wine is produced using traditional semi-carbonic maceration to preserve its intense aromatic profile. According to local lore, Saint-Amour was named after a Roman soldier, Amor, who escaped death, converted to Christianity, and established a monastery in these hills. This romantic heritage is reflected in the wine's seductive character, offering a silky texture, vibrant red berry flavors, and delicate floral notes of violet and peony, underpinned by a subtle mineral backbone.

🍾 Om vinhuset / producenten

Les Vins Georges Duboeuf har hjemsted i Romanèche-Thorins i det franske Beaujolais og blev grundlagt i 1964 af Georges Duboeuf, der ofte hyldes som 'Kongen af Beaujolais'. Négociant-huset revolutionerede regionens internationale profil ved at slå et slag for domæneaftapninger, opbygge tætte partnerskaber med lokale vinbønder og gøre det årlige Beaujolais Nouveau-fænomen verdensberømt. Huset ledes i dag af Duboeuf-familien og er fortsat dybt engageret i at formidle Gamay-druens mange terroirfacetter på tværs af de ti Beaujolais Crus – herunder Moulin-à-Vent, Morgon og Juliénas – sideløbende med et nøje udvalgt sortiment fra Rhône-dalen og Pays d'Oc.
