Beaujolais Wines: The Essentials

South of Burgundy, Beaujolais is the land of Gamay. Beyond Beaujolais and Beaujolais-Villages, ten crus produce terroir-driven reds grown on granite and schist: Brouilly, Côte de Brouilly, Chénas, Chiroubles, Fleurie, Juliénas, Morgon, Moulin-à-Vent, Régnié and Saint-Amour.

What grape is used in Beaujolais?

Black Gamay with white juice for the reds and rosés. The rare whites are made from Chardonnay.

Can Beaujolais crus be aged?

Yes: the most structured Morgon, Moulin-à-Vent or Juliénas develop well in the cellar for several years, unlike Beaujolais nouveau, which is meant to be drunk within the year.

What dishes should Beaujolais be served with?

Charcuterie, poultry, andouillette, Lyonnaise cuisine and soft cheeses. Serve it slightly chilled, at around 14 to 15°C.
