Description

he terroir is mainly composed of granite.

Among the 55.000 acres (22.000 hectares) of vineyards planted in the Beaujolais region , about 15.000 acres (6.000 hectares) are under the name Beaujolais Villages « Appellation d’Origine Contrôlée » which stands between the Beaujolais Appellation and the Crus appellation (there are 10 crus).

 

It is a very important wine for us: for a  long time, Louis Jadot has been producing a consistent Beaujolais-Villages and we are one of the most important producers in the region.

We are really involved in the region where we have a winery dedicated to vinify a large part of the total volume (Cellier de la Vauxonne close to Saint Etienne des Oullières)

We have 250ha in contracts and it’s representing actually 60% of the total volume of our Beaujolais-Villages.

We are producing around 250 000cases of Beaujolais-Villages every year and of course it means that we are blending maybe 4 or 5 different cuvees that we are bottling all year long.
