Beaujolais J. Calvet & Cie 1966
The 1966 Beaujolais from J. Calvet & Cie is a French red wine carrying the Appellation Beaujolais Contrôlée classification. J. Calvet & Cie operates as négociants-éleveurs based in Beaune, within the Côte-d'Or. This specific release was bottled in their own cellars and features a special label marking the producer's 150th anniversary, celebrating the period from 1818 to 1968. The wine was originally imported to Italy by D. & C.
Beaujolais is an extensive wine area located south of the main Burgundy region and north of Lyon, stretching 52 kilometers down towards Mâcon. The broader Burgundy region in eastern France was historically shaped by medieval monks who meticulously mapped its countless terroirs, creating a fine-meshed system of climats. In Beaujolais, which covers approximately 15,000 hectares, the vines are cultivated on granite soils in the northern Haut Beaujolais and on clay-limestone in the southern Bas Beaujolais. The vines are often grown in the traditional gobelet form without wire trellising. The northern part of the area is also home to ten distinct Crus.
This wine is produced from Gamay, a French grape variety that is almost exclusively cultivated in the Beaujolais area, though it is also found in the Loire Valley. In Beaujolais, Gamay has become the dominant grape, completely replacing the few remaining Pinot Noir vines in recent years. Depending on the vinification method, such as semi-carbonic maceration or destemmed vinification, the grape yields wines with varying degrees of structure.
The history of the wine
Below, you can delve into the history of this wine — its producer, grape, area, and region.
Burgundy
Burgundy in eastern France was shaped by medieval monks who mapped the area's countless terroirs. The region grows almost exclusively Pinot Noir and Chardonnay and has turned terroir into an art form with its finely meshed system of climats. From Chablis in the north to the Côte d'Or and Mâconnais in the south, the limestone soil yields some of the world's most sought-after and elegant wines.
When this wine was made, the world looked very different. Here are some of the stories that unfolded while this bottle quietly aged in its cellar.
