The AOC Beaujolais is the largest regional appellation within its eponymous region, covering nearly 4000 hectares across 72 communes. Within this vineyard, 97% of the production is dedicated to red wine, made exclusively from the Gamay grape variety. The remaining 3% of white wines are produced with the Chardonnay grape variety.
