Grape varietals

Origins

The Beaujolais appellation begins in the north of the Rhône département and stretches up to a southern section of the Saône et Loire département. It covers the hillsides between the River Saône in the East and the Monts du Beaujolais in the West.

The main production area is located around the Villefranche sur Saône area, on a clay-chalky plateau and extends northwards over granite and schist.

Food and wine pairing

Beaujolais is a "friendly" wine, to be appreciated at any time of the day, with picnics, before meals, or with cold meats and starters.

Serving suggestions

Beaujolais wines should never be served too warm, and certainly not at room temperature. This would make it impossible to distinguish their typically smooth and delicate fruit flavours. Serve at 11 to 12°C.

Ageing potential

Beaujolais should not normally be kept too long in the cellar since the typically youthful flavors will dwindle.
Keep this wine for up to 3 years.
