About the estate:

Joined by Franck, Georges Duboeuf is still at the helm of the wine merchant and producer business he founded in 1964, which has greatly contributed to the reputation of Beaujolais wines. The company works with numerous winegrowers and cooperatives and generates 75% of its turnover internationally. Georges Duboeuf is also a pioneer in wine tourism with his wine park (Hameau Georges Duboeuf), which was set up in 1993 in the former Romanèche-Thorins railway station.

About wine:

This jewel of the Dubœuf galaxy is a fine standard-bearer for the vintage. True to the strength of the Capitans, it reveals beautiful fruit quality, thanks in particular to complete destemming. Its precise tannins and judicious aging promise excellent aging potential. (LA RVF No. 682, July-August 2024)

About the estate:

A wine merchant and producer since 1964, the innovative and media-savvy Georges Dubœuf was the first to promote and market Beaujolais wine. His son Franck has been successfully continuing his work since 1983. Thanks to state-of-the-art technical equipment, winemaking techniques have continued to improve in recent years. Georges Dubœuf's tireless work as an ambassador promoting his region is admirable, and the company's worldwide reputation is well deserved. The Beaujolais wine region owes him a great deal!

About wine:

This Juliénas offers a very appealing combination of moderate tannins and red fruit with many subtle nuances of spice and earth. Juicy on the front and mid-palate with medium body, the tannins develop pleasantly in the long finish, which is moderately dry and lively. Drink now or keep.
