What to know before visiting Best Beaujolais wineries

What are the Beaujolais Nouveau wines? +

The Beaujolais Nouveau wines, apart from the big popular festival which they represent all over the world, are wines produced from the AOC Beaujolais and Beaujolais Villages.

This is a mention reserved for red wines and rosé wines. They are the result of a precise and rigorous approach. In order to produce aromatic and fruity wines, the winegrowers carry out a short maceration (4 to 5 days maximum) which requires specific know-how. If the tank is racked too early, the wines will be too light and colorless. And conversely, the tannins will be too hard if the tank is drawn too late.

What is the best time to visit the Beaujolais region? +

The ideal period to see the sunny Beaujolais countryside is during the month of August, or any summer month. Spring is also pleasant for a stay in the region. Do beware that crowds may be heavier during this time of year.
