Beaujolais, France - Wine Regions Episode #31

The wine region of Beaujolais in France, located north of Lyon, is perhaps best known for its annual Beaujolais Nouveau every November.

The wine region of Beaujolais in France, located north of Lyon, is perhaps best known for its annual Beaujolais Nouveau every November. The region produces red wines almost exclusively from the Gamay grape, which is thin-skinned and low in tannins. This results in light, fruit-influenced and easy-drinking wines that are high in acidity. In Paris, the wines of Beaujolais are considered to be bistro classics.
