Bronze - Wine Enthusiast (2021 vintage)
Bronze - Wine Enthusiast (2020 vintage)

James Suckling "A deliciously fruity red that has aromas and flavors of strawberries, dark raspberries and oranges. It’s medium-bodied with creamy tannins and a juicy finish." (2023 vintage)

Wine Enthusiast "Juicy with layers of easy red fruits, this wine is generous and ripe. A light core of tannins gives some structure." (2021 vintage)

Wine Enthusiast "Brouilly has given a soft, plush wine with light acidity and gentle tannins. Red-fruit flavors and final acidity predominate." (2020 vintage)

Winemaker "When young, the wine has red berry characteristics (raspberries and strawberries) but also a touch of blackcurrant. Smooth and complex on the palate, where it develops its full range of aromas."

100% Gamay

Since 1989, SA Vins Georges Duboeuf has purchased the harvest from the estate, which was originally owned by the Guigard family from 1925 to 2008. Now operated by Gilles Vincent and his son Stéphane, the estate has been owned by Groupama since 2009, with Gilles Vincent remaining the brand owner. The 60-year-old vines are densely planted, and goblet pruning is practiced. Harvesting is done manually in whole bunches following traditional Beaujolais methods, with wines stored in stainless steel vats.

Beaujolais is an important wine region in eastern France, immediately to the south of Burgundy, famous for its vibrant, fruity red wines made from Gamay. The widespread plantings of Gamay here make Beaujolais one of the few regions of the world to be so focused on a single grape variety.

Les Vins Georges Duboeuf produces a staggering 3 million cases of wine annually. The company is most well-known for its popularization and production of Beaujolais wines.

Mâcon-Villages in southern Burgundy, France is an appellation that in select communes of the Mâconnais wine area produces dry white wines made from the Chardonnay grape variety. These wines represent a step up in quality from the standard Mâcon title.

Burgundy (Bourgogne in French) is a historic and highly respected wine region in eastern France. Burgundy wines have long had devout followers throughout the world and continue to do so today. Although Bordeaux produces about four times as much wine every year, Burgundy’s estimated 74,000 acres (30,000ha) of vineyards are considered to be of equal importance, producing some of the most exclusive wines on Earth.

The two key grape varieties of Burgundy are Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, both members of the extended 'Pinot' family of grape varieties. There are others too, of course, like Aligoté, Pinot Gris, Gamay, and Sauvignon Blanc but the primary focus of Burgundy’s production is Pinot Noir for Bourgogne Rouge and Chardonnay for Bourgogne Blanc. Located in the east-central part of France, Burgundy has 5 primary wine-growing areas; Chablis – “shab-lee” Côte de Nuits – the night slope, Côte de Beaune – the slope of Beaune, Côte Chalonnaise – the Chalon slope, Mâconnais – the region of Mâcon.

Chardonnay is one of the world’s most popular grapes, Chardonnay is made in a wide range of styles from lean, to rich, creamy white wines aged in oak. Bolder, richer, full-bodied and buttery Chardonnays are made using oak and are produced in California, Burgundy, and Australia. Unoaked chardonnays such as Chablis and those produced in Chile, New Zealand, and other parts of France are leaner and often crisp and minerally, with delicate flavors. By law, if a label says “Chablis,” it must be Chardonnay.

Beaujolais is an important wine region in eastern France, immediately to the south of Burgundy, famous for its vibrant, fruity red wines made from Gamay. The widespread plantings of Gamay here make Beaujolais one of the few regions of the world to be so focused on a single grape variety.

The Beaujolais region's rise to prominence began in the 19th Century and was earned by its youthful, fruity nouveau wines. With no barrel aging at all, these are sold and consumed only weeks after harvest and are officially released on the third Thursday in November.

Gamay is a grape variety that is most famous for producing the light, fruit-driven red wines of Beaujolais. While the variety offers fresh, red-fruit and candied aromas, it typically delivers little in the way of flavor concentration and body weight, giving light, simple wines.
