Château de Lacarelle
Château de Lacarelle produces Gamay-based wines from the Rhone Valley, drawing on the region's tradition of bright, mineral-driven reds. The winery's Cuvée Grande Réserve Beaujolais-Villages and Beaujolais-Villages Rouge showcase the varietal's characteristic freshness and structure. Both wines have been assessed by major critics including Wine Enthusiast, Wine Advocate, and Wine Spectator. Beaujolais from this part of the Rhone Valley typically balances red fruit aromatics with subtle earthiness, and these bottlings reflect that profile. The Cuvée Grande Réserve represents the winery's more concentrated expression, while the Beaujolais-Villages Rouge offers a more approachable entry point to the estate's work.
