Beaujolais
Beaujolais is a French Appellation d'Origine Contrôlée (AOC) wine generally made of the Gamay grape. Like most AOC wines they are not labeled varietally. Whites from the region, which make up only 1% of its production, are made mostly with
Chardonnay grapes though Aligoté is also permitted. Beaujolais tends to be a very light-bodied red wine, with relatively high amounts of acidity. In some vintages, Beaujolais produces more wine than the
Burgundy wine regions of
Chablis, Côte d'Or, Côte Chalonnaise and Mâconnais put together.
