Beaujonomie at Bistrot

Beaujonomie at Bistrot Beaujolais in Theizé Secret courtyard in Villefrhance-sur-Saone By this stage I was a total Beaujolais fan, blown away by the soft reds, the delicious whites, the rare rosés. 94% of the wine produced in Beaujolais is red, 4% white wine 2% rose. The area is also famous for lemonade, chestnut liqueur, and orange liqueur. Travel the 140km Beaujolais wine route and you’ll enjoy some of the finest wines ever made including 10 crus (high quality), the most spectacular scenery, welcoming villages and sensational food. Beaujolais sits on the Vallée de la Gastronomie, a 640km foodie route from the north to the south of France. Pretty much every village in Beaujolais boasts a bistro where you’ll be fed like a lord, and where it feels like everything is cooked in wine – from poultry to peas and pears! The locals call their delicious cuisine ‘beaujonomie.’ I loved Bistro Beaujolais in the charming village of Theizé, a warm welcome is assured, along with a fabulous glass of wine and gutbusting dishes that make your soul soar. Peppered with beautifully preserved medieval chateaux and churches the Pays Beaujolais countryside is green and rolling, dotted with perched villages. To the south, the area is known as Pierres Dorées (golden stone), 86 | The Good Life France 87 | The Good Life France The Good Life France | 87
