The wine region of Beaujolais Supérieur
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.
The wine region of Beaujolais
Kingdom of Gamay (98% of the vineyard): fruity, accessible reds with signature notes of cherry, raspberry, banana (carbonic maceration), violet and sweet spices, supple tannins and juicy acidity. From festive Beaujolais Nouveau (3rd Thursday of November) to the 10 more structured, age-worthy Crus: deep earthy Morgon, sturdy Moulin-à-Vent, floral Fleurie, crunchy Brouilly. Some lively Chardonnay. 12,000 ha south of Burgundy, granitic soils.
The word of the wine: Thinning
Also known as green harvesting, the practice of removing excess bunches of grapes from certain vines, usually in July, but sometimes later. This is often necessary, but not always a good thing, as the remaining bunches often gain weight.
