Beaujolais
The Beaujolais winegrowing area has thousands of years of history. Beaujolais’ history spans from Roman viticulture and Benedictine monks to its rise as a popular, affordable wine for Lyon’s workers, boosted by railways to Paris, and eventually becoming a global phenomenon with its Beaujolais Nouveau in the 1950s-80s, thanks to marketing like Georges Duboeuf’s “Le Beaujolais Nouveau est arrivé!”.
