Beaujolais is a type of red wine that is produced in the Beaujolais region of France, located just south of Burgundy. It is made from the Gamay grape, which is known for producing wines with a light and fruity character. Beaujolais wines are typically made using a process called carbonic maceration, which involves fermenting whole grapes in a carbon dioxide-rich environment, resulting in a wine with low tannins and high fruitiness. Beaujolais wines are classified into four categories based on the level of complexity and aging they have undergone: Beaujolais Nouveau, Beaujolais, Beaujolais Villages, and Cru Beaujolais. Beaujolais Nouveau is a young wine that is released shortly after the harvest, while the other categories are aged for longer periods of time, resulting in wines with greater depth and complexity. Beaujolais wines are often enjoyed slightly chilled and pair well with a variety of foods, including charcuterie, roasted chicken, and grilled meats.
