Beaujolais

Beaujolais, located in eastern France just south of Burgundy, is renowned for its light-bodied red wines made from the Gamay grape. These wines are known for their bright fruit flavors, low tannins, and high acidity. The region boasts ten designated vineyard areas, known as crus, that produce complex and age-worthy wines, including Saint-Amour, Juliénas, Chénas, Moulin-à-Vent, Fleurie, Chiroubles, Morgon, Régnié, Brouilly, and Côte de Brouilly.


Beaujolais has a rich history dating back to the Roman era, but it wasn't until the 14th century that wine production became a focus. In the mid-20th century, the region became famous for its Beaujolais Nouveau, a wine made using the carbonic maceration method that is released just weeks after harvest. However, the commercialization and declining quality of this wine led to its reputation suffering in the 1990s.


In recent years, Beaujolais has experienced a resurgence in quality-focused winemaking, led by a group of producers known as the ""Gang of Four"": Jean Foillard, Marcel Lapierre, Guy Breton, and Jean-Paul Thévenet. These producers champion natural winemaking practices, avoiding the use of chemicals and focusing on expressing the terroir of their vineyards. Today, Beaujolais is recognized for both its traditional and modern styles of winemaking, with a renewed focus on quality and terroir-driven wines that pair perfectly with a variety of foods, including charcuterie and grilled meats.

Vinous (94)

Vivid ruby. A highly complex bouquet evokes ripe red/blue fruits, candied flowers and exotic spices, and a smoky mineral nuance builds as the wine opens up. Stains the palate with appealingly sweet black raspberry and cherry flavors that become livelier and spicier on the back half. Conveys an impressive blend of power and finesse and lingers with superb persistence on the finish, which features sneaky tannins and lingering florality.

James Suckling (95)

Racy wild strawberries and raspberries with white pepper, agave and dried herbs. Fresh, medium-bodied palate with silky, refined tannins spreading evenly across the palate. Juicy and bright finish with lovely, herbal allure. Extremely drinkable now, but will hold, too.
