Interesting Facts

Beaujolais-Villages takes its name from a number of wine-producing villages long identified for the superior quality of their wines. In this instance, “superior” refers to greater complexity in bouquet, higher concentration, and deeper flavor. Its distinctive character sets a middle ground for Beaujolais, with its unique casual charm and the prestigious Top Ten Cru Wines to the north. If one could compare a glass of joyful Beaujolais to Mozart’s Cherubino, then Beaujolais-Villages would be Figaro-more mature, worldly and self assured. Beaujolais-Villages is that ideal, multipurpose red wine we all look for in a wine.

Serving Hints

A wine that lends itself to all occasions, from the aperitif to the cheese board, this Beaujolais-Villages works with appetizers and charcuterie, such as prosciutto and other salty meats, soft cheeses, light pasta dishes and “fun foods” like pulled pork sliders.
