Wine Facts
Winemaker Notes
The Beaujolais Nouveau from Georges Duboeuf is sourced from the southern part of the Beaujolais region, which is a patchwork of terroir ranging from sand, clay and limestone to granite and schist. A difference in altitude and latitude can influence the style of wine. Some of the grapes were picked manually, in whole clusters, while others were machine harvested. The average age of the vines are 20 years old. Traditional semi-carbonic maceration took place over eight days, followed by malolactic fermentation in stainless steel tanks, at temperatures between 66-68 °F degrees.
Serving Hints
Best served slightly chilled, this wine pairs well with appetizers, cheese, charcuterie, poultry such as turkey and salmon.
