Duboeuf

Duboeuf refers to Georges Duboeuf, a French wine grower and négociant who played a pivotal role in popularizing Beaujolais wines in the late 20th century. He founded Domaine Georges Duboeuf, a major Beaujolais producer based in the Beaujolais region of eastern France, with the winery located in Romanèche-Thorins in Saône-et-Loire. Born in 1933, Duboeuf expanded a family estate into a large-scale operation that sourced grapes both from his own vineyards and from partner growers. The company became widely known for its Beaujolais Nouveau releases, which were marketed globally with high-volume campaigns beginning in the 1980s and helped raise international awareness of Beaujolais wines.

Beyond Nouveau, the Domaine Georges Duboeuf produces wines from Beaujolais Villages and from the region’s Crus, including Morgon, Brouilly, Fleurie, and Saint-Amour, as well as wines from other French regions through its trading operations. The brand’s wines are distributed around the world, and the company has been influential in shaping the modern image of Beaujolais wine.

Georges Duboeuf died in 2008; the Domaine Georges Duboeuf continues to operate and remains a major export producer for Beaujolais.
