MACONNAIS<br />
It is in this region that Burgundy begins its transition into the Southern French style of wine.<br />
In the past it mainly produced red wines from Gamay but now there is much more emphasis<br />
placed on white wines from Chardonnay, try the Macon Cave de Vire which offers an excellent<br />
alternative to Chablis.<br />

BEAUJOLAIS<br />
Beaujolais enjoyed a boost in popularity recently, due to the superb quality of the 2009 vintage,<br />
recognised as one of the best for 50 years. In good years, such as 2009 and 2010, Beaujolais is a really<br />
delightful wine with lots of rich fruit flavour and soft tannins. It is at its best drunk very slightly chilled.<br />
Our wine from the village of Chiroubles, from Jean-Pierre Large is a wine of exceptional quality.<br />
