Beaujolais is one of the most beloved—and most misunderstood—wine regions in France.

In this episode of Wine Pros on the Go, Lauren Crim sits down with Philippe Audibert, founder of Old Creek Imports, importer of fine French wines, and lifelong ambassador of French wine culture. Together, they explore the vibrant region of Beaujolais, where Gamay thrives on granite soils and generations of growers have crafted wines defined by energy, authenticity, and a profound sense of place.

From the celebrated Crus of Morgon, Fleurie, and Moulin-à-Vent to the global phenomenon of Beaujolais Nouveau, Philippe shares the history, traditions, and people that make this region so captivating. Along the way, we discuss terroir, food pairings, winemaking philosophy, and why Beaujolais continues to capture the hearts of sommeliers, collectors, and everyday wine lovers alike.

Whether you're discovering Beaujolais for the first time or have been drinking it for years, this conversation offers a deeper understanding of one of France's most joyful and expressive wine regions.
