Cru Beaujolais, The 10 Villages That Make Age-Worthy Gamay

Taste to Learn.

In the very Southern most part of Burgundy lies the domain of the Gamay grape.

Beaujolais is usually first introduced to someone this time of year through the colorful Nouveau Bottles.

That is the juice from THIS YEAR’S pressing made into a simple, fresh wine.

Then, there are regular Beaujolais bottlings which are reliable, more complex and generally solid crowd pleasers.

Beaujolais Village. These wines come from more specific geographic areas that have been identified as better soil, better aspect of terrain and elevation to produce better wine.

We will taste these and a few CRU Beaujolais. There are 10 in total that all differ.

These wines pair quite well with our holiday menus and are delicous everyday!

Snacks & 6 wines.
