Beaujolais

Beaujolais is a wine region in France, known primarily for its red wines made from the Gamay grape. It is located south of Burgundy and is celebrated for its fruity, light-bodied wines that are often enjoyed young. The most famous event in this region is the Beaujolais Nouveau, a wine released just weeks after the harvest, celebrated on the third Thursday of November. Beaujolais wines can range from the fresh and easy-drinking Nouveau to more complex and age-worthy selections from specific villages, such as Morgon or Fleurie. Overall, Beaujolais offers a unique expression of French winemaking.
