Appellation Beaujolais Nouveau - AOC

Beaujolais is a famous appellation d'origine contrôlée (AOC) located in the south of Burgundy, France. This wine-producing region is renowned for its fresh and fruity wines, primarily made from the Gamay grape, which thrives particularly well on its granite soils. Beaujolais stands out with a diversity of terroirs spread across approximately 12,000 hectares, giving rise to several categories of wines: Beaujolais, Beaujolais Villages, and the ten Beaujolais crus, among which Moulin-à-Vent, Morgon, and Fleurie are the most renowned. Beaujolais wines are generally red with a beautiful ruby colour, aromas of red fruits, and a smooth, light texture. Beaujolais Nouveau, an early release wine launched every November, is also a globally celebrated event, offering a fresh and fruity glimpse of the current vintage. Wine enthusiasts, whether beginners or connoisseurs, will find in Beaujolais wines a varied and accessible palette, perfect for pairing with numerous dishes throughout the year. Whether your cellar is in the making or richly stocked, these wines bring liveliness and conviviality to any collection.
