Maison Duboeuf represents the heritage of French winemaking, particularly through its promotion of Beaujolais wines, as well as the terroirs of Burgundy and the Mâconnais. From the start, Georges Duboeuf and his team have been dedicated to showcasing their wines around the world. They place great emphasis on quality, tradition, and respect for the terroirs.

Highlighting the Terroirs

Founded in 1964, Maison Duboeuf has become one of France's most important wine trading houses. Georges Duboeuf, nicknamed the "King of Beaujolais," quickly made a name for himself through his commitment to promoting not only Beaujolais wines but also those from all of Burgundy. This family-run house follows a simple philosophy: to respect and elevate the terroirs to create authentic and accessible wines for everyone.

Georges Duboeuf began by collaborating with local producers and passionate winemakers to create wines that capture the unique essence of each appellation. Thanks to his expertise and marketing acumen, Georges Duboeuf wines have captivated international markets, becoming true ambassadors of the quality of Beaujolais and Burgundy wines.

Maison Duboeuf places great importance on showcasing the Beaujolais Crus, those often-overlooked fine wines, such as the prestigious Morgon, Fleurie, Juliénas, and Moulin-à-Vent. These crus are a pure expression of the terroir, characterized by light red wines perfect for convivial moments.

A Unique Wine Tourism Experience

In 1993, Georges Duboeuf opened Hameau Duboeuf, a wine museum in the heart of Beaujolais. This project reflects his commitment to promoting wine culture and his desire to share his passion for wine with the public. Located on the famous Beaujolais Wine Route, Hameau Duboeuf has become a must-visit for wine and oenology enthusiasts.

Hameau Duboeuf offers an immersive experience in the history of wine through interactive exhibits, a vineyard garden, and numerous activities. It’s an invitation to discover the terroirs of Beaujolais, Mâconnais, and Burgundy, offering a sensory and educational journey. With over 30,000 visitors each year, it has become a major attraction in French wine tourism.

Visitors can explore the history of Beaujolais wines while participating in tastings of various crus. These experiences allow them to savor the richness of Georges Duboeuf wines, with must-tries like Morgon, Fleurie, and Juliénas. White wine lovers are also catered for, with Burgundy appellations such as Saint-Véran and Pouilly-Fuissé available for tasting.

Focus on the Beaujolais Crus

The ten Beaujolais Crus are true gems, each with its own terroir and distinct geological and climatic characteristics, offering a wide range of flavors and remarkable finesse.

Morgon, for example, is one of the most famous crus. This rich wine reveals aromas of red fruits and has a strong tannic structure, along with an incredible aging potential.

Fleurie, on the other hand, is known for its lightness and delicacy. Often described as floral, it boasts notes of violet and cherry, offering a refined and pleasant tasting experience.

Juliénas, named after Julius Caesar, offers robust and full-bodied wines. With its notes of ripe fruits and spices, it brings a lovely complexity to every sip.

Finally, Moulin-à-Vent, often compared to the great wines of Burgundy, stands out for its power and complexity, with excellent aging potential that will delight wine lovers.

In addition to the Beaujolais Crus, you will also find on our site prestigious Burgundy appellations such as Saint-Véran and Pouilly-Fuissé, elegant and subtle white wines from the Mâconnais region. These wines are often highly appreciated for their freshness and aromatic complexity.

Thanks to the vision and dedication of Georges Duboeuf, Maison Duboeuf has successfully positioned Beaujolais wines on the international stage. Through his close collaborations with winemakers, the promotion of Beaujolais Crus, and the creation of Hameau Duboeuf, the house continues to shine a light on the French wine heritage. Today, Georges Duboeuf wines are synonymous with quality and respect for the terroirs, offering an oenological experience that is both authentic and accessible.
