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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis 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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Château de Corcelles","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57797910823238,"sku":null,"price":165.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0646\/3478\/1950\/files\/generated-1900_02f83407-9094-42b4-a7bc-146b92a2eb66.jpg?v=1793972500","url":"https:\/\/bottleswithhistory.com\/products\/beaujolais-villages-chateau-de-corcelles-1971","provider":"Bottles With History","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
