High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Beaujolais is a French Appellation d'Origine Controlee (AOC) wine generally made of the Gamay grape which has a thin skin and is low in tannins. 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 Aligote 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, Cote d'Or, Cote Chalonnaise and Maconnais put together. The wine takes its name from the historical Beaujolais province and wine producing region. It is located north of Lyon, and covers parts of the north of the Rhone departement (Rhone-Alpes) and parts of the south of the Saone-et-Loire departement (Burgundy). While administratively considered part of the Burgundy wine region, the climate is closer to the Rhone and the wine is unique enough to be considered separately from Burgundy and Rhone.
