BEAUJOLAIS<br />
– HISTORY –<br />
Planting Sauvignon at Château de Durette<br />
Beaujolais Crus:<br />
back in the limelight<br />
For many years, Beaujolais was considered a cheap and cheerful wine,<br />
and was highly underrated. And yet, it is home to 10 superior growths or Crus<br />
which enhance this endearing wine region, that for too long has remained<br />
in the shadows of neighbouring Burgundy. Each Cru has a distinctive identity<br />
and the sum of their talents creates incredible variety, stemming<br />
from highly specific vineyard sites.<br />
