Well done guys. Time to move past the marketing gimmick that is Beaujolais Nouveau – a cheap and high-volume “early release” wine.
Maybe to Beaujolais AOC, the region’s broadest classification, where grapes can be “plucked” and “plonkened” from anywhere within the appellation.
Better still move up to Beaujolais Villages AOC, sourced from 38 designated “villages” that produce wines with more structure, depth, and terroir-driven “regional typicity.”
If you can afford them Beaujolais Crus, comprised of ten northern appellations on granite-rich soils, where the Gamay grape expresses its finest textures, complexities and overall “feelings” about its “wonderful little life.”
Perhaps from The four most “prominent” and “celebrated” Beaujolais Crus
Brouilly – The largest cru, producing light, fruit-forward, and “ready to party” beverages.
Fleurie – The so-called “Queen of Beaujolais,” graceful, perfumed, and looks great in jorts.
Morgon – Deep cherry notes and a stony little backbone making for “ageable” wines.
Moulin-à-Vent – Structured, tannic, and long-lived – the cru considered to be most reminiscent of its overly-esteemed buddy “Burgundy.” The other crus include: Côte de Brouilly, Chiroubles, Juliénas, Régnié, Saint-Amour, and Chénas.
No this was not written by AI, just by me, a total amateur in the world of French Wine.

Impressive work, Thomas!
