Beaujolais-Villages Château de Corcelles 1971
The 1971 Beaujolais-Villages from Château de Corcelles is a French red wine originating from the northern half of the Beaujolais region, just south of Burgundy. The estate is notable for its historically protected 15th-century castle and bottles its wines directly at the property. This wine holds the Appellation Contrôlée classification, representing a quality tier positioned above the generic Beaujolais appellation and below the specific Beaujolais Crus.
The Beaujolais-Villages appellation covers a selection of the northernmost municipalities in a hilly landscape situated between Mâcon and Lyon. The vineyards here are planted on steep slopes at altitudes ranging from 200 to 500 meters. The area benefits from a semi-continental climate with mild influences from both the Mediterranean and the Atlantic Ocean, ensuring a stable ripening environment. Unlike the southern part of the region, the soil in this northern section is primarily dominated by granite and schist.
This appellation is almost exclusively dedicated to the blue Gamay grape, which is the signature variety of the Beaujolais region and is also frequently found in the Loire Valley. The Gamay vines thrive particularly well in the local granite-rich soils. The region is internationally recognized for its traditional winemaking method known as maceration carbonique, a process where whole grape clusters are fermented in a carbon dioxide-saturated environment.
The history of the wine
Below, you can delve into the history of this wine — its producer, grape, area, and region.
Beaujolais
Beaujolais south of Burgundy is the homeland of the Gamay grape. The area became world-famous for the young, fruity Beaujolais Nouveau, but the real quality lies in the ten cru villages such as Morgon and Fleurie. The granite subsoil yields juicy, light red wines with fresh acidity and aromas of red berries, flowers and spice. A classic and incredibly food-friendly French red wine region.
When this wine was made, the world looked very different. Here are some of the stories that unfolded while this bottle quietly aged in its cellar.
