4 sparkling rooms in Beaujolais, editor-picked by Cork & Curve. All Beaujolais nightlife.
Cave des Vignerons de Macon (Crémant bar) ★ 4.1
Macon · Macon, 71000, France
The Macon cooperative tasting room with a dedicated Crémant de Bourgogne sparkling section, pouring method-traditionnelle Chardonnay and Pinot Noir by the glass.
Tip: Crémant de Bourgogne is the most practical aperitif sparkling wine for a Beaujolais evening; prices are a fraction of Champagne and the quality from the Macon cooperatives is reliable.
Pétillant Naturel at Gang of Four producer events ★ 4.3
Morgon · Villié-Morgon, 69910, France
Natural-wine pétillant naturel from Morgon Gang of Four-tradition producers, available at cellar-door events and wine festival producer stands.
Tip: Pét-nat from Morgon producers is not widely distributed; the best chance to taste it is at the Fete des Crus producer tables or during harvest-week cellar visits when producers occasionally open trial batches.
Cave Cooperative d'Igé (Crémant de Bourgogne) ★ 4.0
Maconnais (border area) · Igé, 71960, France
The Igé cooperative near the Beaujolais border producing a well-regarded Crémant de Bourgogne, open for afternoon tasting of the sparkling and white wine range.
Tip: Cave d'Igé is a short detour from the Beaujolais-Maconnais border; a stop here adds a complete Crémant comparison before the Cru Beaujolais evening.
Bar aperitif with Beaujolais Blanc petillant (Villefranche) ★ 3.9
Villefranche-sur-Saone · Villefranche-sur-Saone, 69400, France
Villefranche aperitif bars serving Beaujolais Blanc petillant and Crémant de Bourgogne by the glass as the early-evening sparkling pour before dinner.
Tip: Beaujolais Blanc is made from Chardonnay grown on the limestone edges of the southern appellation; the petillant style is informal and low-cost compared with Crémant, and works well as a pre-dinner aperitif.
