Explore the WINES OF GEORGES DUBOEUF to Pair with Favorite Foods

Les Vins Georges Duboeuf is a very pleasing selection of wines from the Beaujolais region of France. Whether you are picnicking, enjoying a patio sip, or creating perfect pairings for your next meal, you'll be delighted by the fine array of Duboeuf wines that are available at excellent price points.

We had the pleasure of having lunch with Franck Duboeuf at Oceana in New York City. Franck's father, Georges Duboeuf established the winery over 50 years ago. Georges' family has been tending vineyards and producing wine in the Maconnais region of France, right next to Beaujolais, for at least four centuries. Georges inherited the passion for wine and the secrets of production from his uncle and brother, a legacy that continues with his son, Franck.

Georges has revolutionized the practices of his times by combining his ancestors' traditional methods of production, and a deep respect for the terroir as well as the work of the winemaker. By valuing the expertise and style of the producers and growers with whom he maintains close relations, he has leveraged the success of Les Vins Georges Duboeuf to share the best of Beaujolais with wine lovers. Georges has travelled the globe to share his passion for Beaujolais, the region and the wines.

The Beaujolais region is located north of Lyon in eastern France. Beaujolais overlaps Burgundy in the north and Rhone in the south. There are very picturesque vineyards running along the Saone River where wines have been crafted since the days of Ancient Rome. The overall climate is considered semi-continental with temperate influences, perfect for cultivating grapes.
