Beaujolais-Villages 2025
Trade Tools
France / Burgundy
Grapes are sourced from the finest vineyards within the Beaujolais-Villages appellation in northern Beaujolais. Louis Jadot practices the quality-driven “replis” method, whereby grapes of higher classifications from the 10 famed Beaujolais Cru villages are added to elevate the blend. The area’s granite and sandy subsoils contain a high percentage of manganese, which produces an especially deep and rich expression of Gamay. Grapes are handpicked in whole bunches and traditional Burgundian methods are used for vinification.
Harvest Note
Vintage 2025 was a warm, early year with two major heatwaves in June and August, limited rainfall, and heavy rain during harvest. Vine growth was rapid with no frost, though June heat caused some sunburn and millerandage. Harvest began very early (late August), with generally moderate but improved yields compared to 2024. The reds are deeply colored, ripe, and approachable, with fine, supple tannins and good concentration.
Tasting Note
This crisp, fruit-forward, juicy wine has expressive aromas and flavors of ripe red berries, with nice weight in the mouth.
