Explore the Vineyards
Here we are in front of the charming Château de Pierreux. It’s a 13th-century fortified house and one of the most beautiful estates in the Beaujolais region, which you often come across as you travel through the area. The château has its own vineyards right next door. Let’s go!
The diversity of this region is reflected, particularly in the vineyards, in soils with very different compositions and varying cultivation methods. Nevertheless, the grape clusters share a common hot and dry climate, typical of the Languedoc.
The Roussillon tradition, on the other hand, is characterized by mixed planting (the vineyards are planted with a mix of grape varieties—white and red—in the same plot) and the diversity of soils and elevations (given the slopes, the elevation quickly rises from 0 to 400 meters!).
The Beaujolais appellation offers a wonderful selection of wines to taste. Whether red, white, or rosé, Beaujolais wines are wonderfully fresh and a pleasure to drink.
While both white and red wines are produced within the Pierrevert AOP and the Alpes de Haute-Provence IGP, rosés remain the flagship wines of these two appellations.
If every glass of wine tells a story about the place and the people who made it, Greece and its people have many delightful stories to share.
