Beaujolais, France
Celebrated for its unique, light-bodied red wines from the Gamay grape. These wines, often characterized by their vibrant fruitiness and low tannins, are a delightful departure from the more robust reds of Burgundy. Beaujolais' winemaking often employs carbonic maceration, a process that enhances the wine's fresh, fruity character. This results in wines that are approachable and best enjoyed young, with flavors of red berries, cherries, and a distinctive floral note. The region offers a range of styles, from the easy-drinking Beaujolais Nouveau to the more complex and age-worthy Cru Beaujolais. These Crus, representing the region's top ten villages, showcase the full potential of Gamay, with wines that can display remarkable depth and complexity.
