The Beaujolais-Villages appellation is cultivated on the region’s best hills. Stretching out over 38 communes, the Beaujolais-Villages vines flourish thanks to the special sunshine on these terroirs since this prestigious vineyard stands on granite, sandy soils with some volcanic sedimentary rock. Gamay, the emblematic grape variety of the Beaujolais region, expresses its full potential here: Beaujolais-Villages are expressive, intensely fruity and fragrant.

It’s high time you took a plunge into the heart of this appellation, passionately managed by over 1000 winegrowers, exactly half of whom have private wineries.
