Beaujolais is all about the Gamay grape and granite soils. Fruity, easy-going Beaujolais Nouveau is the region's most famous export, but more complex and age-worthy wines are produced in Beaujolais' "cru" communes: Saint-Amour, Juliénas, Chénas, Moulin-à-Vent, Fleurie, Chiroubles, Morgon, Régnié, Brouilly and Côte de Brouilly.
