During the seminar session (17:00-18:20), participants were introduced to the unique aspects
of Beaujolais, including expertise, terroirs, winemaking techniques, and appellations for its 3
colors. The session placed a particular emphasis on the key grape varieties of the region:
Gamay and Chardonnay. Additionally, Ms. Morimoto provided information about the
lieux-dits and their significance in the Beaujolais wine landscape. The seminar concluded
with a Q&A session, sparking interesting discussions on how to further expand the sales and
position of Cru Beaujolais wines in Japan. Carnet du Beaujolais, soil map, and presentation
slides were distributed to the participants.
Following the seminar, a 2-hour tasting dinner (18:30-20:30) showcased the exceptional
quality of Beaujolais wines. This session offered a perfect opportunity for participants to taste
