Beaujolais wine results from the perfect harmony between a unique grape varietal and a terroir unlike any other.

Here, where ideal altitudes are matched with a particularly favourable northern climate, the vines send their roots deep down into the heart of the rock. This rock consists of extremely old, decomposed granite, similar to that found in the Alps. It is ideally suited to the extremely vigorous Gamay grape as it prevents the vines from being overly productive.

With its clearly delimited terroir, the Beaujolais is intrinsically linked with the Gamay grape that reigns there as undisputed master.

This is one of the treasures of the Beaujolais. To the north, this varietal gives way to Chardonnay when it comes up against limestone soils. To the south, it goes no further once it encounters the clay-limestone soils that surround the city of Lyon.
