Beaujolais – the 10 crus dissected
Guest contributor
Wednesday 28 June 2017
The following concise summary of the Beaujolais terroir project and the region's soils was produced by cartographer Sigales in alliance with Inter Beaujolais.

If you are interested in buying any or all of the maps, they are available from the Inter Beaujolais website.
