38 communes (31 in the Rhône and 7 in the Saône et Loire) spread over 3 geographical areas with marked specificities, give life to Beaujolais-Villages, the first French appellation to use the term “Villages”.
The word “villages” was adopted in 1950 to replace the multiplicity of commune names that could be added to the Beaujolais appellation label to distinguish productions considered superior.
This delectable red wine marks a sort of transition between the Beaujolais “tout court”, with its early-ripening character, and the prestigious Dix Crus.
Every nuance is possible, but the wines always combine finesse, aroma and body.
