WHAT IS BEAUJOLAIS?
The pairing of food and wine is nothing new–it’s been going on for centuries. Pairing wine and burgers, however, is a fairly recent (but no less tasty) trend. Beaujolais, the light-bodied red wine crafted from the Gamay grape, is one of the most celebrated wines in the world as is the widely popular Beaujolais nouveau whose annual release is anxiously awaited every November. Georges Duboeuf is the founder of Les Vins Georges Duboeuf, one of the largest and most renown wine merchants in France. His company is known especially for its popularization and production of Beaujolais wines as evidenced by Duboeuf’s nickname: le roi du Beaujolais (the king of Beaujolais).
