Beaujolais' most famous producer, and self-styled 'King' of the region, has been found quilty of wine fraud and fined £20,800 €30,000. Wine produced by his estate was found to have been illegally blended from different types of grape rather than a single source.
Guardian
"In a trial that has shocked the French wine world, Duboeuf, who is one of France's best-known producers, was accused of fiddling the country's strict grading and labelling system and mixing cheap, average and high-quality grapes from different vineyards to conceal a bad harvest in 2004."
