Winemaker Notes
The 2015 Domaine Des Quatre Vents is a bright garnet color. Fresh aromas of black fruits, cherry stone, mild spices permeate the nose, while the same fruits and spices are ripe and fresh on the palate, with silky tannins. This wine pairs well with tarragon chicken, oven-roasted salmon, lamb or beef, spicy dishes and aged cheeses.

James Suckling
Impressively aromatic with crushed berries, dried flowers, nutmeg and other spices. Full-bodied, round and flavorful with a light vanilla and chocolate aftertaste. About 20% new barrels.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The 2015 Fleurie Clos des Quatre Vents was surprisingly reticent on the nose, possibly due to a touch of reduction, although there appears to be plenty of fruit underneath. The palate is sweet and ripe on the entry, dark cherry and raspberry fruit, hints of blueberry, fine tannins with good weight and persistence on the finish. This is a charming Fleurie with the structure to suggest that it will give 7-8 years of drinking pleasure.

For over 40 years Georges Duboeuf has been the Beaujolais region's most renowned négociant and is today regarded in the wine world as the "King of Beaujolais." Born in 1933 in Pouilly-Fuissé, the son of a winegrower, Georges began selling his family's wines from the back of his bicycle to now-legendary local chefs such as Paul Bocuse and Paul Blanc. In 1964, Georges realized his dream and founded his own company: Les Vins Georges Duboeuf.
Over the years, Georges has developed long-standing relationships with the region's top growers and winemakers. Georges is involved in every aspect of his enterprise and is known for his passion and his legendary palate. In 2003, the Duboeuf family opened a new, modern winery in Romanéche-Thorins. The following year, the Duboeuf and Deutsch families jointly purchased Chateau des Capitans in Juliénas. With annual sales of 30 million bottles, Georges Duboeuf is one of the world's best-known French brands.
