Domaine Rochette Beaujolais-Villages 2023

Beaujolais, located just south of Burgundy in eastern France, is a vibrant and diverse wine region best known for its light, juicy reds made from the Gamay grape. Though often associated with the youthful and fruity Beaujolais Nouveau, the region offers far more depth, particularly in its ten crus—villages such as Morgon, Fleurie, and Moulin-à-Vent—where wines show complexity, structure, and ageing potential. With granite-rich soils and a warmer climate than northern Burgundy, Beaujolais produces wines that balance freshness with expressive fruit. Increasingly, growers are embracing sustainable and organic practices, and the region is enjoying renewed attention for its quality, versatility, and approachability.
