AOP Beaujolais-Villages: Beaujolais-Villages is produced in part of the Beaujolais vineyard. It’s the first appellation in France to use the term “villages.” In 38 municipalities of the Rhône and Saône-et-Loire, and 3 geographical zones with marked specificities, these fruity and fleshy wines reflect the characteristics of their terroirs. The vines are often planted at altitude and on hillsides. These delectable red wines mark a kind of transition between Beaujolais, in the south, and the ten crus further north.
