– Beaujolais Villages: wines from 38 specific towns, typically more complex and structured than the Beaujolais Nouveau.
– Beaujolais Cru: wines produced in 10 of Beaujolais’ most prestigious crus, such as Brouilly, Fleurie and Moulin-à-Vent
– Beaujolais AOC: wines produced in the vineyards of all other towns which are usually lighter and fruitier.
