This picturesque area is defined by rolling hills, granite soils, and a temperate climate that nurtures the distinct freshness and vibrancy of its wines. With a focus on natural winemaking methods, Beaujolais wines are loved for their approachability and their ability to age gracefully, especially the prestigious Crus of the region.
