This jewel in the Dubœuf galaxy represents a fine standard-bearer for the cru. Faithful to the muscle of the Capitans, it reveals a fine quality of fruit, thanks in particular to complete destemming. Its precise tannin and judicious ageing promise good cellaring potential (LA RVF n°682 July - August 2024).

About the domain :
Joined by Franck, Georges Duboeuf is still at the head of the wine merchant-breeder business he founded in 1964, and which has made a major contribution to the reputation of Beaujolais. The company works with numerous winegrowers and cooperatives, and generates 75% of its sales internationally. Georges Duboeuf is also a pioneer in wine tourism, with his oeonoparc (Hameau Georges Duboeuf) set up in 1993 in the former Romanèche-Thorins railway station.

About the domain :
Merchant-breeder since 1964, the innovative and media-savvy Georges Dubœuf was the first to promote and market Beaujolais. His son Franck has taken over from him since 1983. Thanks to first-rate technical equipment, vinification has progressed even further in recent years. Georges Dubœuf's tireless ambassadorial work in promoting his region is admirable, and the worldwide renown enjoyed by the company is well justified. The Beaujolais wine region owes him a debt of gratitude!

About the wine:
This Juliena presents a very attractive interplay of moderate tannins and red fruits with plenty of subtle spice and earth nuances. Juicy at the front and middle of the medium-bodied palate, the tannins develop nicely in the long, moderately dry, lively finish. For drinking or cellaring.
