The vibrant heart of Gamay excellence
Our Beaujolais collection celebrates the remarkable diversity and character of this beloved French region, where the Gamay grape reaches its highest expression. Often overshadowed by its prestigious northern neighbor Burgundy, Beaujolais produces wines of exceptional charm, vibrancy, and increasing sophistication. From the granite-dominated hills of Moulin-à-Vent to the volcanic soils of Côte de Brouilly, each of the ten Beaujolais crus imparts distinctive characteristics to its wines—resulting in expressions that range from light and fruit-forward to surprisingly structured and age-worthy. This thoughtfully curated selection showcases the full spectrum of styles, highlighting producers who combine traditional methods with precise, terroir-focused winemaking.
From joyful Villages to distinguished Crus
Discover the complete hierarchy of Beaujolais quality, from bright, approachable Beaujolais and Beaujolais-Villages to the more complex and site-specific cru bottlings. Experience the floral delicacy of Fleurie, the mineral intensity of Morgon, the refined structure of Moulin-à-Vent, and the silky depth of Chénas. Our collection features both traditional producers employing semi-carbonic maceration for maximum fruitiness and progressive winemakers adopting Burgundian techniques for added complexity and aging potential—representing the exciting evolution occurring in this dynamic region.
Beyond Nouveau: serious wines for all occasions
While Beaujolais Nouveau captures headlines each November, our selection focuses on the serious, characterful wines that demonstrate the true potential of this region. These versatile reds offer exceptional value compared to other French appellations while delivering genuine complexity and food-pairing versatility. Their naturally high acidity and moderate tannins make them perfect companions to a wide range of dishes, from charcuterie and roasted poultry to grilled fish and vegetarian fare. Whether you're seeking a refreshing summer red that can benefit from light chilling or a more substantial cru bottling capable of developing beautifully over several years, Beaujolais offers a distinctive alternative to both Burgundy and the Rhône at prices that encourage everyday enjoyment.
