Wines of Beaujolais

The region of Beaujolais, in southeastern France is home to the star red grape, Gamay. Just south of Burgundy, a lesser amount of Chardonnay is also produced here. Ten villages, known as crus, make the world's finest examples of Gamay wines. Try a Morgon, compare it to a Brouilly or Regnie. Delicate, fruity and nuanced, the cru Beaujolais wines can be among the most versatile of food wines. Join us as we taste our way through these great and graceful, often under-appreciated wines of Beaujolais, along with thoughtfully chosen food pairings.
