BWW Preview: LES VINS GEORGES DUBOEUF and the Majestic Beauty of BEAUJOLAIS

In the coming weeks, Broadwayworld.com Food and Wine will bring our readers news from the Beaujolais region of France. This province and wine-producing area is located north of the city of Lyon. The Beaujolais vineyards are situated along the Saône River, where winemakers have crafted wine since the days of Ancient Rome.

Les Vins Georges Duboeuf is the most famous producer in the area, recognized worldwide for their Beaujolais Nouveau. Steeped in tradition, the Duboeuf family has the distinction of being wine producers for more than four centuries. We will visit Le Hameau Duboeuf and have the opportunity to chat with Georges and his son, Franck to learn about the expertise and care that goes into making each bottle of their wines.

The Beaujolais region boasts both great beauty and a rich history. The area is a band of fertile hills that spans about 35 miles north to south and is approximately nine miles wide. Beaujolais has one of the highest vine density ratios of any major wine-producing region in the world. Because of its temperate climate, crops flourish in the area with the Gamay grape having the highest yield.

Visiting the Beaujolais region allows guests to explore majestic landscapes, historic edifices, and enjoy the fine wines that are produced by Les Vins Georges Duboeuf. Quintessential Wines, headquartered in Napa, California, is the exclusive importer of Georges Duboeuf Wines.
