Beaujolais Villages Strana 1 z 1

Beaujolais-Villages is not a specific winery, but a designation of an appellation in the French wine region of Beaujolais, located north of the city of Lyon. This appellation was created to highlight the quality of wines coming from selected municipalities in the region. Wine labeled as Beaujolais-Villages must come from precisely defined vineyards and meet stricter production conditions than basic Beaujolais.

Grape Variety

The typical grape variety of the region is Gamay, which produces light, fresh, and fruity red wines with notes of cherries, raspberries, and subtle spices. Thanks to the granite soil and mild climate, wines have a pronounced aroma and good drinkability. Beaujolais-Villages represents a kind of middle ground between the simple wines of Beaujolais and the prestigious crus of this area.

Today, this appellation is utilized by dozens of family wineries and producers who combine traditional maceration methods with modern technologies. Wines from this area are popular worldwide, especially for their freshness, accessibility, and gastronomic versatility.
