Beaujolais is the northernmost part of southern Burgundy, where the wine world is ruled by the Gamay grape. This is where some of France’s liveliest and most fruit-driven red wines are born. The climate in Beaujolais is warm, and the soil is predominantly granitic—an ideal combination for Gamay, which here reveals its most vibrant expressions: from juicy cherry and raspberry to hints of violet and even banana.
The region is divided into three main segments: the basic Beaujolais AOC, the slightly higher-quality Beaujolais-Villages AOC, and the most serious category—the 10 Cru Beaujolais (including Morgon, Fleurie, and Moulin-à-Vent). The latter are often compared to Burgundy’s Pinot Noir wines for their elegance and ageing potential.

Many people are familiar with the world-famous Beaujolais Nouveau — a light, fruity wine only a few weeks old, released every year on the third Thursday of November. Although it represents just one side of the region, the festive atmosphere surrounding its release has made it a global ambassador for the Beaujolais name. Yet the true treasures of the region lie in the Cru villages, where structured and complex wines are born — wines suited not only for celebration but also for slow, thoughtful enjoyment. Beaujolais is not just a wine to be quickly consumed; it is the true soul of Burgundy, rich in character and tradition.
