For more than four centuries, the Duboeuf family has been producing wine. Now, Georges Duboeuf is a name that needs no introduction, as he is famous for turning Beaujolais Nouveau into an international phenomenon. He cared a great deal about Beaujolais, and his dedication still resonates today– elevating both the Beaujolais region and Gamay grape to near-cult status.
Varietal: 100% Gamay
Region: Beaujolais, France
Viticulture: The grapes are sourced from the southern part of the Beaujolais region, which is a patchwork of terroir ranging from sand, clay and limestone to granite and schist. Differences in altitude and latitude influence the style of wine produced. Some of the grapes were picked by hand, in whole clusters, while others were machine harvested. They come from vines over 20 years old that were trained in the Guyot Trellis System.
Vinification: Traditional semi-carbonic maceration took place over eight days, followed by malolactic fermentation in stainless steel tanks, at temperatures between 66-and-68ᵒ F.
Alcohol: 13%
Tasting Notes: Chill It. Twist It. Nouveau! Bursting with juicy black cherry and blackberry flavors, Georges Duboeuf Beaujolais Nouveau is fresh, fruity, and ready to party. Serve slightly chilled for maximum enjoyment—because some things are just cooler when they’re Nouveau.
