Beaujolais

Producers and Wine Reviews about the "Beaujolais AOC" Show in wein.plus:places

The French wine-growing region is part of Burgundy in terms of wine law and is located in the far south. Historically, however, Beaujolais has never belonged to it. An exception is the northern part, which belongs to the department of Sâone-et-Loire and therefore also to Burgundy in administrative terms. The majority, however, with the capital Villefranche-sur-Saône, belongs administratively to the Rhône department and is therefore part of the Rhône-Alpes region. The southernmost part of the Beaujolais forms its own appellation, Coteaux du Lyonnais. This is an ancient wine-growing region, as the remains of Roman vineyards have been discovered at Mont Broully (one of the cru communes). In the 7th century AD, further vineyards were planted by monks of the Roman Catholic Benedictine order.
