Your annual reminder of the joys of Beaujolais, a wine region often damned with faint praise by consumers who vaguely remember buying Beaujolais Nouveau back in the ‘80s. In fact, Beaujolais has had a complete renaissance in recent decades and is now one of the hippest wine regions in the world.
The region is very pretty with lots of rolling hills should you get a chance to visit. Base yourself in Lyon, one of the culinary capitals of France and home to gastronomic wonders such as Saint-Marcellin and Bresse Chickens — its excellent restaurants all specialise in Beaujolais.
