The history of Georges Duboeuf

Georges Duboeuf began his career at the early age of six when he manually crushed the grapes for his family’s wine farm and in the 1950’s returned from Paris where he chose to give up his studies in order to work in the family business.

In 1964 he created his own negociant business representing 40 winemakers from all the appellations in the region as well as the production of his own wine.

Today his total output is 30 million cases annually with 6 million being Beaujolais Nouveau and his business accounts for 15% of the entire production of the Beaujolais region.

The wines are distributed to over 150 countries around the world and the labels on the bottles are uniquely floral and well distinguished.

Georges sources his wine from 400 out of 4000 growers in addition to purchasing wine from 20 local cooperatives.

The Gamay grape is the only one permitted in the region and all of their wines are not meant to be aged but enjoyed and as the ambassador of the region, Georges Duboeuf winery has created close and personal relationships with all of his suppliers and has become the King of the Beaujolais.

The process

It begins with a semi carbonic maceration where whole grapes are kept in a carbon dioxide atmosphere to allow for an inter-cellular fermentation without the use of yeasts.

A portion of the grape sugars is converted to ethanol, which creates a distinctive fruity flavour.

After this a yeast fermentation takes place which is usually about four days long for the Beaujolais nouveau wines, and longer for the wines from the elite ten crus.

As they do not spend any time in oak for ageing the bottles are ready to drink, allowing the freshness of the grape to be maintained.

The Wine Collection

The bottles of Beaujolais Nouveau are very floral and easy to see and have been recognised throughout the world, especially after the harvest in November when the wine goes from the vineyards to the stores after a huge marketing frenzy.

The collection consists of reds, whites and roses from Beaujolais, Maconnais, Bourgogne and Vins de Pays D’oc.

Beaujolais Selection Georges Duboeuf is a cherry red wine with purple hints and has aromas of red berries such as strawberries and ripe cherries.

Beaujolais Rose Georges Duboeuf consists of the Gamay Noir grape and has aromas of peach, white fruits and citrus

Patchblock Chardonnay is a gold colour with aromas of star anise, sweet almond and citron from the Vins de Pays DOC.

Fleurie Selection Georges Duboeuf is from the Fleurie with 13 climates each producing a different wine.

In the sloping and a higher part of the appellation the soils are poor, acidic and dry and they produce highly aromatic wines where the soils above the village contains clay and produce wines that are more structured.

This wine is an intense red and has aromas of iris, violets, roses, red berries and wild peaches
