Wine production is fought over by associations in the South. In the North there are more villages that have the right to sell their wines with the high quality label Beaujolais Villages and Beaujolais Cru or Cru Beaujolais.

Beaujolais is the southernmost part of Burgundy. The landscape is hilly , the soil is dominated by granite, with a layer of gravel, sand, and clay - optimal conditions for the Gamay grape.

The majority of wine production is red wines. Some rosé and only a little white wine are made. Beaujolais is an origin designation for a large area. Beaujolais Supérieur are those wines that have one percent more alcohol than normal. The region is know for its Beaujolais Primeur or Noveau, which is sold on the third Thursday in November (two months after harvest). But not just the s Nouveau should be drunk young, but most Beaujolais wines should. Gamay is used for the red wines, Chardonnay for the white. Some Pinot Noir, Pinot Gris, and Pinot Liébault are grown as well.
