Dubeouf Fleurie 70cl

Description

Eighteen-year-old Georges Duboeuf knew his family’s wines had the potential to become some of the most celebrated Beaujolais in France. It was 1964, and he set off on his bicycle with select bottles strapped to the back. He pedalled around some of the most celebrated French restaurateurs of the day – from Gaston Brazier to Paul Bocuse – and they uniformly loved these food-friendly wines. Georges’ success inspired him to expand the family business and build relationships with some of the best growers in Beaujolais. Fleurie is one of best appellations in the region – known for producing floral, delicate wines. It’s a really pretty wine. Think violets and red berries, with a really silky texture. As for food – it’s brilliant with charcuterie and terrines.
