Beaujolais is a winemaking region located north of Lyon in eastern France, renowned for its vibrant and fruity red wines primarily made from Gamay – the region’s primary grape.

This region is famed for its Beaujolais Nouveau – a fruity young wine released just weeks after harvest on the third Thursday of November and celebrated worldwide with annual events.

Beaujolais is also known for its elegant and complex Cru Beaujolais wines, which come from ten specified areas.

The diversity in wine styles, the region’s rich winemaking tradition and the global celebration of Beaujolais Nouveau all contribute to the fame of Beaujolais wines.

There are several classifications of Beaujolais, which represent levels of quality. These classifications are based on the appellation (recognised wine growing area) where the grapes are grown, how the wine is made, and how long it’s aged.

• Beaujolais AOC – the most basic level used to describe any wine made in the Beaujolais region.
• Beaujolais-Villages – an intermediate classification covering 38 villages in Haut Beaujolais in the region’s north.
• Cru Beaujolais – these represent the highest quality wines in the region, from ten appellations.

Each Beaujolais cru is celebrated for its high quality and distinctive flavours. They include:

• Brouilly – the largest and best-known cru, known for its medium-bodied wines with red fruit notes and subtle floral hints.
• Chénas – known for rustic wines featuring a distinctive floral bouquet.
• Chiroubles – a high-altitude cru making light and delicate wines.
• Côte de Brouilly – creates complex wines with an intense garnet red colour.
• Fleurie – often called the ‘Queen of Beaujolais’ for its elegant, floral wines.
• Juliénas – named after Julius Caesar, this cru wine carries notes of cherries and berries, along with hints of cinnamon.
• Morgon – creates robust and full-bodied wines with great ageing potential.
• Moulin-à-Vent – known for its robust, complex wines that benefit from ageing.
• Régnié – the newest cru, officially recognised in 1988, known for its silky and easy-drinking wines.
• Saint-Amour – the northernmost cru, producing fragrant wines.
