Wines
of Beaujolais
Beaujolais is the last district of Burgundy. It
produces one of the most famous red wine in the world.
Beaujolais takes it, generally, light and fruity flavour
from the Gamay grape variety. It
should be tasted slightly fresh and young.
There are four categories of wines in Beaujolais :
Cru Beaujolais, in Brouilly, Côte
de Brouilly, Morgon, Chénas, Chiroubles, Fleurie,
Juliénas, Moulin à
Vent, Régnié and Saint Amour, where the granitic
soil gives one of the best Gamay.
Beaujolais in the northern part of the district where
the soil is limestone.
Beaujolais Supérieur in the same part of the district
but with one degree more of alcohol.
Beaujolais-Village in one of the 39 listed villages.
