Wines from France are unequaled in quality and variety, thanks to an ideal combination of soil, climate and centuries long tradition of winemaking, and have become a standard benchmark against which all other wines are judged. The Soil and climate are the most important factors that give wine its special characteristics, therefore geographic location of a vineyard is of utmost importance. France can be divided into several wine producing regions: Bordeaux, The Loire Valley, Alsace, Burgundy, Cotes du Rhone, Champagne and several others.

Located at the southernmost tip of wine-producing Burgundy, the Beaujolais is a region that cannot be ignored. Thanks to Beaujolais Nouveau, this appellation is now famous around the world. But beyond the festive attributes of this wine, it is also an impressive terroir and the birthplace of the Gamay grape, which fully expresses itself here more than anywhere else. Jarnioux and its hilly landscapes offer gorgeous panoramas of the Saône valley. Here, the vines are planted in calcareous clay soil (sedimentary in origin and therefore comparable to the soil profiles found in Burgundy). In this exceptional region, where it is warmer than in the rest of Burgundy, both the soil and the people working it contribute to the highly exceptional Gamay wines produced here, thereby affirming a true Beaujolais terroir.
