BEST BUYS Made from the Gamay grape. Includes, in ascending order of general quality: Beaujolais Nouveau; Beaujolais; Beaujolais-Villages (from 39 villages); Beaujolais Superieur; and the ten Cru Beaujolais (which do not show the word “Beaujolais” on their label): Light-Bodied: Brouilly, Regnie, Chiroubles. Medium-Bodied: Cote de Brouilly, Fleurie, St-Amour. Fullest-Bodied: Chenas, Julienas, Morgon, Moulin-a-Vent. Generally, Beaujolais should be drunk young, but the Cru Beaujolais can last five to ten years or more and will improve with age.
