Wine in Beaujolais-Villages, Beaujolais

Chateau de Corcelles Historic Cellar and Estate Tour ★ 4.4

A 15th-century fortified chateau on an 87-hectare estate, designated a classified historic monument, with a cellar renowned for its impressively carved wooden casks and historic stonework.

Tip: The cellar's 15th-century carved casks are a well-known wine-heritage feature of the Beaujolais; book ahead for group visits.

Hotel and Spa Le Savigny ★ 4.4

A three-star adult-only boutique hotel (no guests under 16) in the Beaujolais vineyards in Blace, with 17 rooms and suites split between the Maison de Maitre, a former cuvage; the Maison du Vigneron.

Tip: This is an adult-only property; children under 16 are not accepted even when accompanied. The former cuvage rooms have the most character, with original stone and timber fittings.

Auberge de Clochemerle ★ 4.6

A ten-room three-star hotel and Michelin-starred gastronomic restaurant in the wine village of Vaux-en-Beaujolais, set among the Beaujolais vineyards.

Domaine de la Madone (Le Perréon) ★ 4.2

Domaine de la Madone in Le Perréon (Bererd brothers) farms 28 hectares of vineyards across two villages, Le Perréon and Vaux-en-Beaujolais. The estate is divided into 90 small plots with vines averaging 40 years old on steep, decomposed pink-granite slopes that produce some of the most structured Beaujolais-Villages of the appellation, with a 2.5-hectare organic block and the rest in sustainable viticulture.

Tip: Le Perréon is a quiet village in the centre of the Beaujolais that sees few wine tourists; the Madone domaine is a good reason to explore the Beaujolais-Villages zone beyond the ten Crus.
