Supple, fruity reds to drink young with a clear ruby robe, supple tannins and a light palate, featuring signature aromas of strawberry, raspberry, banana (Beaujolais Nouveau with carbonic maceration) and floral notes (peony). Star of the ten Beaujolais AOC crus (Moulin-à-Vent, Morgon, Fleurie, Brouilly…) and Beaujolais-Villages AOC, the typical expression of granitic soils. Official synonym of French Gamay from Burgundy, as opposed to teinturiers (Bouze, Chaudenay, Fréaux).
