Moulin à Vent is known as the lord of Beaujolais wines, it was competing with Romane Conti in the late 19th century, we'll tell you the story of that.

Fleurie
Fleurie is known as the most feminine cru of Beaujolais, ironically, it was put on the map by a woman last century.
Depending on your mood and thirst, we'll either stop at the cooperative, that also acts as a local bar, for a tasting, or we'll head uphill to our favorite viewpoint in the vineyards, we'll pull out long chairs and open a few bottles for you to taste, one of them being from the vineyard where we'll be standing.

Julienas
Welcome to our last stop in the crus of Beaujolais, Julienas is the rebel cru to us.
We'll stop in a building that used to belong to the catholic church. They serve only Julienas wine as less than 2 USD/glass.
Most tables are usually occupied by local wine growers and it always seems some conspiracy is going on.
This is as authentic as it gets.
