Beaujolais, France

Nestled south of Burgundy, Beaujolais is one of France's more "casual" wine regions, a place where tradition meets approachability. But what does "casual" mean in the world of wine? Think vibrant fruit-forward flavours, lighter-bodied styles that are easy to enjoy, and a playful spirit that doesn't take itself too seriously. While Beaujolais might not have the grandeur of Bordeaux or the prestige of Burgundy, its unique charm lies in its ability to deliver deliciousness without pretension. The star of the show is Gamay Noir, a grape that thrives in the region's granite and clay soils, producing wines that burst with juicy red fruit and captivating aromas. Explore our collection of Beaujolais wines and discover the delightful expressions of this charming region.

Popular Beaujolais Wines by Category

Beaujolais offers a delightful spectrum of wines, each with its own distinct personality. From the easy-drinking Beaujolais Nouveau to the more complex and age-worthy Crus, there's a Beaujolais for every palate and occasion.  The region is broadly categorised into three levels:

Beaujolais Nouveau

The youthful and vibrant expression of Gamay, released just weeks after harvest, bursting with fresh fruit flavours.

Beaujolais Villages

 A step up in complexity, offering more structure and depth, with red fruit flavours and subtle earthy notes.

Beaujolais Crus

The ten named Crus, like Fleurie, Morgon, and Moulin-à-Vent, represent the pinnacle of Beaujolais, showcasing the unique terroir of each village and producing age-worthy wines with greater complexity and concentration.

Beaujolais Wine Taste Profile

Beaujolais wines are a celebration of Gamay Noir, a grape that thrives in the region's diverse soils. Imagine a symphony of flavours, where bright red fruits like raspberry and cherry take centre stage, their tartness balanced by a refreshing acidity. But there's more to Beaujolais than just fruit. The region's granite and schist soils in the north contribute subtle notes of mushroom, smoke, and violet, while the clay soils in the south add a touch of earthy complexity.


And then there's the "banana" note, a unique characteristic often found in Beaujolais wines. This intriguing aroma comes from a special winemaking technique called semi-carbonic maceration. Instead of crushing the grapes, they're placed whole into vats, where they begin to ferment intracellularly, creating carbon dioxide. This process not only preserves the fresh fruit flavours of Gamay but also contributes to those distinctive aromas of banana, candied fruits, and a touch of spice.
