Fete des Crus Beaujolais ★ 4.5
The spring Fete des Crus brings together producers from all ten Beaujolais Cru appellations for public and trade tasting sessions. The event is Inter Beaujolais's flagship spring showcase, deliberately emphasising the quality and diversity of the named Crus rather than the Nouveau image. Tasting tickets give access to producer stands pouring the latest vintage alongside back-vintages.
Tip: Buy a tasting glass on arrival and work systematically through the ten Crus; the lighter Crus (Chiroubles, Fleurie) are best tasted first before moving to structured Moulin-a-Vent and Morgon.
