Situated to the south of Burgundy<\/a> is the much-loved French wine region of Beaujolais, the land of Gamay.Beaujolais has a continental climate which produces naturally fresh and fruity wines that are nicely tangy in taste. The region\u2019s main grape, Gamay, thrives in this climate. This black grape tends to offer relatively soft wines with gentle tannins and nice freshness in the finish.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section>

History of Beaujolais<\/span><\/h2>\n

Originally an area planted with vines by<\/span> the Romans, <\/span>then <\/span>maintained from the 7th century by the Church, Beaujolais <\/span>came under the control of the lords<\/span> of <\/span>Beaujeu<\/span> in 957<\/span> AD<\/span> (hence the wine\u2019s name)<\/span>. <\/span>Beaujolais took off in the <\/span>17<\/span>th??<\/span> century<\/span> thanks, first, to <\/span>the elimination of <\/span>the <\/span>ma<\/span>in<\/span> taxes<\/span> on the delivery of Beaujolais, a<\/span>nd <\/span>the development of the <\/span>Briare<\/span> canal t<\/span>hat<\/span>facilitate<\/span>d<\/span> the <\/span>shipping <\/span>of wine <\/span>via<\/span> the Loire. Beaujolais wines thus arrive<\/span>d<\/span> in Paris and quickly <\/span>became a <\/span>great success. <\/span>Following this, the<\/span> wine region<\/span> expanded significantly<\/span>. It was not until 1930 that Beaujolais was administra<\/span><\/a>tively attached to <\/span>the<\/span> Burgundy<\/span> wine region<\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section>

Beaujolais\u2019 different wines<\/h2>\n

Contrary to popular misconception, the region is not only home to Beaujolais Nouveau! It in fact produces white, ros\u00e9 and red wines, including some excellent appellations such as Moulin-\u00e0-vent, Brouilly, Juli\u00e9nas and Morgon.<\/p>\n

The white wines are made from Chardonnay and are typically zippy and dry with noticeable tension.<\/p>\n

The reds from the more southerly vineyards grow on sandy soils and the resulting wines are on the softer side of the scale. This is where AOC Beaujolais and AOC Beaujolais-Villages are made. The wines of these appellations tend to be fruity, supple and delicate.<\/p>\n

The reds from the northern part of the region grow on soils with more granite and as a result have more body. It is in this part of the region that you find the ten Beaujolais crus. These ten crus are wines with greater complexity, a broader range of aromas and longer ageing potential.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Excellent diversity and good ability to age<\/h2>\n

With all of these premium appellations, Beaujolais offers excellent diversity. For example, you might enjoy a supple and elegant Saint Amour or a more powerful and complex wine such as a Morgan.<\/p>\n

It is also interesting to note that Beaujolais can age very well. The well-balanced combination of acidity and good tannic structure that you find in crus such as Morgon, C\u00f4te de Brouilly or Moulin-\u00e0-vent gives these wines great ability to age. Extended ageing of 10 to 15 years can in fact reveal some very nice surprises with Beaujolais.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section>
