Georges Duboeuf Beaujolais-Villages

Welcome to the wonderfully juicy, fruity and definitely fun world of Beaujolais wine! Located next to Burgundy this is a sub region in France that’s a bit of a one-grape grower – Gamay!

It’s also known as Gamay Noir and, yes, it’s a cousin of the Pinot Noir grape. This is a red that’s light bodied and bursting with juicy, fruity, floral flavours like raspberry and blackcurrant and for the keen nose you might even pick up a bit of violet in there!

This is not a wine style that takes itself too seriously and absolutely perfect for a warm summer’s afternoon. Here’s a pro tip, service it just slightly chilled from the fridge. And if you’re looking for an ideal pairing with Beaujolais well you’re in luck – this is a super versatile style of wine that’ll pair with almost any lighter style white meat like roast chicken, turkey, pork, smoked ham and a wide range of soft, creamy cheeses.
