Beaujolais Villages Strana 1 z 1

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

Wine varieties

Gamay is a typical variety of the region, producing light, fresh, and fruity red wines with notes of cherries, raspberries, and delicate spices. Thanks to the granite soil and mild climate, the wines have a distinctive aroma and are very drinkable. Beaujolais-Villages represents a kind of middle ground between the simple Beaujolais wines and the prestigious crus of the region.

Today, dozens of family wineries and producers use this appellation, combining traditional maceration methods with modern technologies. Wines from this region are popular around the world, especially for their freshness, affordability, and gastronomic versatility.
