Exploring fine Beaujolais Cru wine and visiting France Passion hosts at the same time in the camper*

And now to something completely different. For the first time, ever, we visit the Beaujolais wine region in our camper. We taste the wine, which turns out to be much, much better than the unfair rumour it has from the old Beaujolais Noveau times. The main grape variety is Gamay, and we were so positively surprised. Of course, many of the wine growers have done a hard job, changing from quantity to quality, changing pruning methods and cellaring philosophies. But the result is nothing less than fabulous. We are already planning our next trip to Beaujolais this year (2024).
These first days, we visit Domaine Matray in the Juliénas area and Domaine Baron de l’Ecluse in Côte de Brouilly. Both are in Beaujolais Cru areas and both make fantastic terroir wine makers.
And, by both of the winemakers, we could stay in our camper, because they are also France Passion hosts. A perfect combination. Subscribe to our channel and wait for the next video from Beaujolais.

Was thinking of buying a 2018 Chateau des Tours - Brouilly to try as my first Beaujolais Cru. What are your thoughts?

[@ChrisAndLeneOnTour]

Hello there. Honestly, we haven't tasted exactly THAT wine, but considering the Richard family's reputation and the vineyards with old vines, we think you can't be wrong there. In our coming video, we visit another fabulous Château, and also in the video after that! 🍷And, of course, thanks for watching our video(s), we really appreciate it 😀

And, if at all possible, we will also visit Château des Tours during our next trip to Beaujolais! 🍷🇫🇷

Hi again, Kairo Dumba. Yesterday we finally visited Château des Tours. It was no longer possible to purchase the Brouilly 2018. But, as this is written, the 2022 is in the glass, and it is absolutely a very nice wine. It is powerful for such a young wine and probably has a fairly long ageing potential. So give it a try!
