Product Description

Beaujolais Villages is the appellation for red, white and rosé wines from an area made up of 38 villages in the north of the Beaujolais region. 

The terroir of northern Beaujolais is widely considered to be one of the best in the world for growing the Gamay grape variety. While most Beaujolais Villages wines are made for immediate consumption, some of the best examples can be cellared for up to five years.

Grapes: 100% Gamay 

Soil: The vineyard is located in the village of Blacé, Rhône department, North of Lyon. The soils are granite sands on granite base-rock. The vines are on the hill with an Eastern exposure.

Alcohol: 12.5 % VOL

Wine making:  Beaujolais method with semi-carbonic maceration (whole bunch fermentation under CO2 to reduce oxygenation to produce a fruity but softly tannic wine, then traditional yeast fermentation in stainless steel vats )

Our Tasting notes:  It has a deep ruby-red colour. It has fine floral nose with red and black fruits (strawberries, raspberries and blackcurrants. Very fleshy and smooth on the palate, it has a full, well-balanced body. Nice softly tannic finish. Great expression of Gamay from Beaujolais.

Serving suggestions: Serve at 15°C with hot or cold red meat dishes, barbecues, poultry and fine cheeses. 

Cellaring potential: Enjoy now or keep for 2 to 5 years.

Single bottles, multiple bottles or complete boxes (12 bottles) may be ordered.
