More informations about the region of Beaujolais
AOC covering the same area as generic Beaujolais but with stricter requirements: lower yields, a half-degree higher alcohol and selection of the best plots. Gamay is the exclusive red king: brilliant ruby, fleshy and fruity with intense notes of cherry, strawberry, raspberry, blackberry and a lightly spiced floral touch, fuller-bodied than standard Beaujolais. Gourmand wines for charcuterie, white meats and bistro dishes.
