\r\n \r\nIn the southern part of the Beaujolais vineyards, the soils are clay-limestone, dating from the secondary era. Further north, the soils are made up of alluvial deposits from the Tertiary and Quaternary eras. The only grape variety used is, of course, Gamay noir à jus blanc. \r\n \r\n Beaujolais Nouveau is the primeur wine produced in the Beaujolais or Beaujolais-Villages AOC region, authorized for sale immediately after vinification. It goes on sale worldwide on the third Thursday in November. Beaujolais Nouveau is not a wine for laying down. These wines generally don't keep very long, around 6 months. \r\n \r\nAfter the primeurs, Beaujolais wines wait for spring to deliver their fruity flavors and freshness, ideal for celebrating the return of fine weather. You can then count on the quality of wines guaranteed by such houses as Domaine des Terres Dorées, Domaine du Vissoux, Maison Coquard and the unmissable Château des Jacques. \r\n \r\nFinally, the Beaujolais-Villages appellation d'origine contrôlée is a regional appellation recognized since 1950.
