The broader Burgundy region in eastern France was historically shaped by medieval monks who meticulously mapped its countless terroirs, creating a fine-meshed system of climats. In Beaujolais, which covers approximately 15,000 hectares, the vines are cultivated on granite soils in the northern Haut Beaujolais and on clay-limestone in the southern Bas Beaujolais. The vines are often grown in the traditional gobelet form without wire trellising. The northern part of the area is also home to ten distinct Crus.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis wine is produced from Gamay, a French grape variety that is almost exclusively cultivated in the Beaujolais area, though it is also found in the Loire Valley. In Beaujolais, Gamay has become the dominant grape, completely replacing the few remaining Pinot Noir vines in recent years. Depending on the vinification method, such as semi-carbonic maceration or destemmed vinification, the grape yields wines with varying degrees of structure.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"J.
