On a clear day, the panorama from atop the hill of Chenas reveals the topography of Beaujolais; a diorama for the individuality of the wines you can and should experience from this region. Each atop its very own undulation in the northern hills of Beaujolais are the 10 villages, the Cru, from which come the region’s finest and most distinctive wines.

If your only experience with these wines has been Nouveau or even the simple commune wines you’ve got a big surprise in store.  Remember the wine in those funny bulbous, straw wrapped bottles that defined Chianti for Americans a few decades past?  What those wines were to Chianti Classico Reserva is what Nouveau is to the Beaujolais Cru.
