Domaine des Pampres d'Or Tasting and Cellar ★ 4.3

Chateau de Corcelles Tasting Room ★ 4.4

A 15th-century fortified chateau and classified monument open year-round with an audio-guide covering the ancient cellars and remarkable 15th-century timber carpentry.

Le Comptoir Beaujolais ★ 4.3

The tasting cellar of 16 Beaujolais-Villages producers, founded in 1956 in the historic capital of Beaujolais. After a full renovation, the caveau pours the complete arc of appellations from Beaujolais-Villages to the 10 Crus alongside Cremant de Bourgogne.

Tip: Beaujeu hosts the Sarmentelles Nouveau festival each November third Thursday; arrive a week early and the Comptoir stocks unlabelled primeur samples.

Caveau de Morgon ★ 4.5

A Beaujolais cru caveau installed in 1953 in an 18th-century chateau surrounded by a wildlife park. Pours older Morgon vintages alongside regional products; a grand press occupies the reception hall.

Tip: Ask for an older vintage Morgon; the cellar stocks library bottles rarely found elsewhere.

Maison du Cru Fleurie ★ 4.4

Village-centre boutique pouring wines from 32 Fleurie estates, staffed each day by a different vigneron. Four Fleurie wines offered for tasting, next to the tourist office.

Tip: The vigneron on duty changes daily so each visit brings a different producer perspective.

Domaine de la Madone Tasting Room ★ 4.6

Six-generation family estate on the hillside below Fleurie's chapel. A modern tasting room opened in 2023 pours the full Fleurie range from pink granite terroir; panoramic vineyard terrace available.

Tip: The Grille-Midi cuvee captures the sunnier south-facing slope; ask to compare it with the Madone old-vines.

Cave de Fleurie ★ 4.2

Founded in 1927, this cooperative assembles four generations of vigneron families in Fleurie. Cuvees include Les Garants, La Chapelle des Bois, and Montgenas from distinct vineyard parcels.
