Vibrant red fruits such as strawberries and currants on the palate and an intense perfume make this wine a perfect accompaniment for cheese, charcuterie and traditional holiday fare. Beaujolais Nouveau is a French tradition that celebrates the first wine of a new vintage. This fresh and fruity wine is bottled only a few weeks after harvest and is meant to be enjoyed immediately upon release. Learn More

This full-bodied wine, with a deep ruby color and a red fruit flavor, comes from a granite area called “Les Charmes” in the west part of the cru Morgon. It will improve in the bottle springtime onwards. Learn More

The color of Gammes en May, the label and the clear glass may lead one to think that this is not a serious wine but they would be wrong. There is a gregariousness to Thierry Michon who is prone to take up the accordion at a moment’s notice but there is nothing frivolous about Thierry or his wines. This is a thrilling rendition of Gammay with darker cherry fruit that one finds in Beaujolais but with a greater lift of minerality and finer tannins. Learn More

Saint Amour is bounding with juicy raspberry fruit. It's full of energy with great minerality and silky tannins. Saint Amour has the most diverse geology of all of the Cru Beaujolais. Pirolette is distinct because the vineyards are near the top of the hill, where you have very little top soil and very good drainage. The vines average 65 years-old.

Lots of wine here, with nice Gamay spice, vibrancy, and layers. This has good flavors and a persistent finish. Nice, correct Morgon, with a dark garnet color and aromas of kirsch and cherry. Learn More

L'Ancien comes from Jean Paul's oldest vines--hence the name of the wine--in his home village of Charnay in the southern Beaujolais. They range in age from 40 to 60 years old and are planted on slopes sporting the area's signature sandy clay-limestone soils, featuring the particular local "dorée" or "golden" limestone that is laden with iron.

A very fresh and decidedly peppery nose features pretty notes of red berries and an elegant floral nuance. There is fine intensity and volume to the well-detailed middle weight flavors that deliver very good length on the saline-inflected finish. Good stuff that could be enjoyed young or aged for a few years to good effect.

The intense and ripe black-cherry fruit is backed up by a serious tannin structure for this region, plus relatively discreet acidity for Beaujolais. Together they give this excellent aging potential. With a little more finesse, this would be really amazing! From an unusual limestone-clay soil for this appellation. Sustainable. Drink or hold.

One of the many marvels of great Cru Beaujolais is that it can be richly colored and quite deeply concentrated but lively and refreshing at the same time. There’s fruit, earth, and flowers in abundance, but no excesses of tannin or alcohol to weigh you down. That is the magic of Château de la Bottière’s Juliénas: It tastes “big” without, in fact, being big.

Jean Paul-Brun is the winemaker and owner of this 40-acre holding in Charnay, just north of Lyons. These are naturally made wines with low alcohol and great purity of fruit, from one of the only top producers at the southern end of the Beaujolais region, where limestone rather than granite dominates. In addition to deliciously light nouveau, there is also a vibrant Beaujolais blanc that displays excellent minerality and cut. Learn More

Unlike in Beaujolais, the wines undergo semi-carbonic maceration which means that the grapes are fermented in sealed tanks but with a small degree of oxygenation. The semi has the advantage of fruitiness and aromatic exuberance, but with more color and structure than pure carbonic maceration. The fermentation starts in a sealed tank and enjoys the effect of fermentation in a CO2 environment but then, at some point, air is introduced via the tap. Learn More
