Beaujolais wines

Beaujolais wines
Beaujolais is world-famous, not least for its primeur wine. Beaujolais wines offer excellent value for money. As with champagne, the Beaujolais appellation requires growers to harvest by hand. The grape variety is Gamay for red wine (95% of production) and Chardonnay for white wine. 

Beaujolais is part of the Burgundy wine region. Approximately half of the wines sold in this region are under theBeaujolais appellation. These are produced in the southern part of the vineyard. The second most important appellation, Beaujolais-Villages, is located in the northern part. Ten villages within this zone have the right to indicate their name on the label. Beaujolais also includes 10 local appellations known as " crus du Beaujolais ": Saint-Amour, Juliénas, Chénas, Moulin-à-Vent, Fleurie, Chiroubles, Morgon, Régnié, Brouilly and Côte-de-Brouilly.

The Beaujolais vineyards cover an area of 22,870 hectares. It lies in the foothills of the Massif Central, west of the Saône, between Mâcon and Lyon. Its climate is unique: continental in winter, oceanic between seasons and Mediterranean in summer.

Beaujolais vineyards began to develop in the 2nd century, with the presence of the Romans. Thanks to a well-oriented terroir, the proximity of the Saône and Rhône rivers and the growth of neighboring towns, winegrowing intensified in the 17th century. Heir to a rich and complex geology, the Beaujolais region is a candidate for the Unesco "geopark" label.

The highest vineyard on Mont Brouilly, made of volcanic rock, produces this juicy, racy wine. This Brouilly expresses fresh raspberry notes on the nose. On the palate, it's full-bodied and sublimely fruity in the pure Beaujolais tradition.

"Gourmet and precise

"Charming aromas of white flowers, baking spices, candied plums and blackberries introduce Fleurie Grille Midi 2023, contrasting with its precise, well-defined palate. This medium- to full-bodied wine is built with a delicate layer of fruit over a base of firm, chalky tannins, culminating in a textured, crisp finish." (Wine Advocate 2025)

"Remarkable wine for laying down".

"Morgon Côte du Py Javernières 2023 comes from north- and south-facing vineyards planted in clay and bluestone soils. On the nose, it reveals aromas of cherries, raspberries, jasmine tea and orange blossom. The wine opens elegantly, with a round attack, then slowly takes shape as the condensed core of sandstone-like tannins imposes a long, precise progression, while the flavor fades and the youthful tension acquired reaches its peak."

"A vintage to keep an eye on!

"The Morgon Corcelette 2024, which suffered the greatest losses of this vintage, with a yield of 20 hl/ha, is more expressive and lively on the nose than the Saint-Vincent: pretty red cherries and wild strawberries reveal themselves in the glass. The palate is very pure on the attack, with supple tannins, good acidity and a touch of graphite towards a smooth finish." (Vinous 2025)

Cuvée Marcel Lapierre is a fine tribute to the great man he was, on vines over a hundred years old. This exceptional cuvée reflects his character: robust and powerful.

"A rare and atypical cuvée for a Beaujolais!

"The Beaujolais Coeur de Vendanges Vignes Centenaires 2023 is charming as always, opening with notes of red and black cherries and stewed berries, enhanced by a subtle impression of vine smoke and baking spices. Medium to full-bodied on the palate, it offers ripe acidity that enlivens its round profile, while its generous, velvety texture carries through to the finish, fading with refined elegance."
