Grape varieties

Gamay

Region

Beaujolais is a quantitively important wine region in east central France, due south of Macon, producing wine from the Gamay grape. For administrative purposes, this 34-mile stretch is often included in Burgundy but Beaujolais’ climate, topography, soils and grapes are quite distinct.

Style

Almost akin to a white, the wines in this category feature the Gamay grape from Beaujolais. Tend to be pale red in colour with refreshing redcurrant and red berry fruit flavours. Great at lunchtime or served slightly chilled in the summer. Will go down well with non-red wine drinkers.
