2024 Dominique Piron Beaujolais-Villages
The Dominique Piron Beaujolais-Villages is one of the best value entry-level Beaujolais on the Australian market. Crafted from 100% Gamay sourced from 50-year-old vines, this wine delivers everything you want in a fresh, light-bodied red—bright fruit, natural freshness, and incredible drinkability.
On the nose, bright notes of cherry, raspberry, and pomegranate leap from the glass, while the palate reveals a juicy core supported by crisp acidity and fine tannins. It’s light, crunchy, and wonderfully refreshing, perfect for enjoying with a slight chill. The granite soils and hand-harvested grapes lend a touch of complexity, making this a seriously fun yet refined wine that’s a joy to drink.
Whether you’re looking for a great companion to your next picnic or a versatile red to pair with grilled chicken or salads, this Beaujolais-Villages is our go-to. Delightfully smashable, it’s proof that quality Beaujolais doesn’t have to break the bank!
2024 Domaine les Prevelieres Morel Pierre Dorees Grain d’Argile Beaujolais
From a small clay-based vineyard in Beaujolais, Grain d’Argile captures the easy charm of good Gamay with a bit of extra texture and depth. The vineyard is farmed organically, and everything in the cellar is done with a soft touch – spontaneous ferment, no additions, no fining or filtration.
The 2024 vintage has a lively, red-fruited energy to it – bright cherry and cranberry with a subtle herbal edge. There’s a gentle grip from the tannins, but it still feels juicy and light on its feet. The clay soils bring a little roundness to the palate, keeping things supple without losing freshness.
It’s a clean, pure take on Beaujolais, and tremendous value.

"This does gamay great justice, revealing an ultra-drinkable and immediately charming wine. With finesse."
- Mike Bennie (The Wine Front)
2022 Vignerons des Crus du Beaujolais Granitis Beaujolais Villages
The 2022 Vignerons des Crus du Beaujolais Granits Beaujolais Villages is all about pure, uncomplicated joy in a bottle. Made from 50-year-old Gamay vines rooted in granitic sands, this wine is hand-harvested and sees a short semi-carbonic maceration for that juicy, fruit-driven vibe we all love in a good Beaujolais.
With no oak to distract, it’s all bright red berries, a splash of florals, and just enough tannin to keep things interesting. The acidity is lively, making it as refreshing as it is easy to drink, whether you’re enjoying it slightly chilled or pairing it with a plate of charcuterie or roast chicken.
This is the kind of red that’s perfect for those “grab a glass and relax” moments but still has enough personality to hold its own at the dinner table. It’s fun, fresh, and seriously good value—what more could you ask for in an everyday Beauj?
2023 Chateau De Corcelles Beaujolais Villages
The highest quality Beaujolais is perhaps at its highest peak ever. But the original, simple beauty and value of wines from this region are captured in the Corcelles.
Sourced from 35 hectares of sandy-clay soils, this wine brings together the richness and expressiveness of the Perreon and Charentay vineyards with the elegance and freshness of the later-ripening Pruzilly vineyards. With an average vine age of 45 years, this wine embodies tradition and quality.
Handpicked by a dedicated team of 150 grape pickers, the grapes undergo traditional semi-carbonic maceration, with a 6-7 day fermentation and pumping over. The wine matures in stainless steel tanks before bottling in the spring, preserving its fresh and lively character.
With its buxom bottle and gutsy dark spiced cherry fruit, it’s a fun red to revel in, whatever the occasion. It's a fantastic wine to share with friends over dinner, or to enjoy by yourself!
2023 Pierre-Marie Chermette Beaujolais Les Griottes
Pierre-Marie Chermette has built a reputation for making honest, expressive Beaujolais, and Les Griottes is his easygoing young-vine Gamay. Sourced from 30- to 40-year-old vines on dark granite soils in Saint-Vérand, it’s made with the same traditional methods he’s stuck with for decades - semi-carbonic fermentation, wild yeasts, and aging in a mix of tank and old oak.
Compared to his more structured Cru wines, this one spends less time on skins, keeping it bright, fresh, and ready to drink. It’s all about vibrant fruit and effortless charm - the kind of wine you don’t have to think too hard about, just enjoy.
Perfect for a casual dinner or a long afternoon with friends, this is Beaujolais at its most fun and easygoing.
2023 Jean Paul Dubost Beaujolais-Villages Lantignie Rouge
The effortlessly delicious 2022 Jean Paul Dubost Beaujolais-Villages Lantignié Rouge is a wine that delivers cru quality at a remarkable value.
Domaine Dubost Morgon, established in 1902, is now helmed by fourth-generation vigneron Jean-Paul Dubost who is dedicated to organic farming and non-interventionist winemaking. Produced using classic semi-carbonic maceration of whole clusters, this Gamay is bottled with minimal intervention, no added sulphur and just a light filtration.
On the nose, this Beaujolais-Villages Lantignié offers enticing aromas of earth, wild berries, and a touch of peppercorn. The palate is round and creamy, with a medium body, fine tannins, and a succulent character. The wine’s beautifully balanced nature leads to a powerfully aromatic and fresh finish.
A super value Beaujolais from an excellent, modern winemaker.
