One of France's most exciting wine regions, often overlooked because of its proximity to heavyweight neighbor Burgundy, but increasingly capable of producing exquisite and great value wines. This guide is the definitive look at the region, written by an acknowledged expert, Natasha Hughes MW.

In The Wines of Beaujolais Natasha Hughes MW guides readers expertly to a greater understanding of the diversity of wines made in the region. In the last few years the quality of wines emerging from Beaujolais has risen dramatically, yet many still associate the region with Beaujolais Nouveau. From the 1960s onwards the region became best known for these fun, unsophisticated wines, which were released just a few weeks after harvest. Nouveau brought financial security to the region, but the extraordinary level of demand for these wines also led to industrialized methods of farming and wine production. The resulting decline in quality ultimately damaged Beaujolais's reputation. Most wine lovers were unaware that, in parallel with this, there was a movement in the region to re-establish Beaujolais's historic reputation as a source of fine wines. The focus was on terroir, respect for the environment and considered winemaking - all things valued by today's wine lovers. This movement has gained momentum in recent years and Beaujolais is now a region with ambitions to match up to the reputation conferred on its neighbours in Burgundy and the Rhône.
