Private Wine Guides in Beaujolais

Beaujolais is still better known for Nouveau than for its ten crus, which leaves the serious growers to the people who come looking for them. In Morgon, Fleurie, Moulin-à-Vent and the other crus, much of the best Gamay comes from small family estates on granite slopes, where a visit usually means the cellar and the person who made the wine. The guides listed below include Beaujolais in their Burgundy itineraries. It sits just south of the Mâconnais, an easy addition to a week in Burgundy.
