The Georges Duboeuf Le Bouquet de Georges Blanc
Le Bouquet de Georges Blanc is a fresh, aromatic and wonderfully approachable French white from Georges Duboeuf, one of the most recognisable names in French wine. Crafted from an intriguing blend of Marsanne, Viognier, Roussanne, Ugni Blanc and Clairette, it brings together five complementary grape varieties to create a wine that balances ripe fruit and aromatic character with vibrant freshness.
Each variety plays its part in the finished wine. Marsanne contributes body and soft orchard fruit, while Viognier brings fragrant floral aromas and ripe peach character. Roussanne adds finesse and subtle complexity, with Ugni Blancproviding lively acidity and citrus freshness and Clairette bringing delicacy and further aromatic lift. Together they create a beautifully balanced white that has plenty of flavour without ever becoming heavy.
In the glass, expect inviting aromas of ripe pear, peach and orchard fruit, complemented by delicate flowers and a fresh citrus lift. The palate is smooth and gently rounded, with juicy stone fruit balanced by bright acidity before a crisp, dry and refreshingly clean finish.
This is exactly the kind of versatile white that earns its place in the fridge. Serve it well chilled for drinks in the garden, a relaxed weekend lunch or an informal evening with friends, or bring it to the table with grilled prawns, fresh seafood, Mediterranean salads, roast chicken or lighter vegetable dishes.
Uncomplicated but far from ordinary, Le Bouquet de Georges Blanc captures the accessible, fruit-driven style for which Georges Duboeuf is known – a characterful French white made simply to be opened, shared and enjoyed.

Producer
Georges Duboeuf is a story that began more than four centuries ago, when the Duboeuf family was producing wine in the Mâconnais.

Barely 18 years old, he quits his studies to take care of the family estate in Chaintré, one of the Villages of Pouilly-Fuissé.
Georges Duboeuf, often referred to as the “King of Beaujolais,” is renowned for his skill in producing wines that celebrate the unique character of French terroirs. While Duboeuf is famous for his Beaujolais wines, he also crafts wines from other notable regions like Languedoc and Burgundy. The “Le Bouquet de Georges” series represents his passion for fresh, approachable wines that are perfect for everyday enjoyment.
Le Bouquet de Georges Blanc is a testament to his commitment to quality, showcasing his skill in crafting approachable, fruit-driven wines with finesse. Georges Duboeuf wines are celebrated for their vibrant flavours and consistency, making them a favourite choice for wine enthusiasts around the world.
