The two main wine regions of Beaujolais are Beaujeu-Villages and Oingt, north of Lyon. Wines from these regions tend to be lighter-bodied than those from other parts of France due to the cooler climate.

Mount Brouilly and its views

Mount Brouilly is the highest point of Beaujolais. It is located in the heart of a geological area called “Brouilly” because of its brown soils. The mountain is a granitic intrusion with an altitude of 809 meters.

The views from Mount Brouilly are breathtaking, especially at sunset, when the sun sets behind the mountains and leaves a pinkish hue on the horizon.

Beaujolais wine is well known for its fruity flavor and lightness, which comes from its thin soil and low vineyards.
