A mnemonic device to remember the 10 BEAUJOLAIS crus <\/strong><\/p><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The idea is to learn a sentence that begins with the first letter of each cru. Many sentences are used in the Beaujolais region. So, for those of you who speak French, here is one example:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><p>\u00ab&nbsp;<strong>A<\/strong>lors<strong>&nbsp;J<\/strong>e&nbsp;<strong>C<\/strong>herche&nbsp;<strong>M<\/strong>on&nbsp;<strong>F<\/strong>r\u00e8re<strong>&nbsp;C<\/strong>hez&nbsp;<strong>M<\/strong>a&nbsp;<strong>R<\/strong>espectable<strong>&nbsp;C<\/strong>ousine&nbsp;<strong>B<\/strong>erthe&nbsp;\u00bb.<\/p><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><em>(Translation: So, I\u2019m looking for my brother at my respectable cousin Berthe\u2019s house)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If we expand each capital letter, we get: A for Saint-<strong>A<\/strong>mour, J for\u00a0<strong>J<\/strong>uli\u00e9nas, C for\u00a0<strong>C<\/strong>h\u00e9nas, M for\u00a0<strong>M<\/strong>oulin-\u00e0-Vent, F for<strong> F<\/strong>leurie, C for<strong> C<\/strong>hiroubles, M for<strong> M<\/strong>orgon,R for<strong> R<\/strong>\u00e9gni\u00e9, C for<strong> C<\/strong>\u00f4te-de-Brouilly and finally B for<strong> B<\/strong>rouilly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><p>Among English-speaking wine enthusiasts, you might hear :<br>\u201c<strong>S<\/strong>ome <strong>J<\/strong>apanese <strong>C<\/strong>anadians <strong>M<\/strong>arry <strong>F<\/strong>rench <strong>C<\/strong>anadians <strong>M<\/strong>aking <strong>R<\/strong>eally <strong>B<\/strong>eautiful <strong>C<\/strong>hildren\u201d<\/p><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>This sentence uses the S of\u00a0<strong>S<\/strong>aint-Amour. Then come\u00a0<strong>J<\/strong>uli\u00e9nas,\u00a0<strong>C<\/strong>h\u00e9nas,\u00a0<strong>M<\/strong>oulin-\u00e0-Vent,\u00a0<strong>F<\/strong>leurie,\u00a0<strong>C<\/strong>hiroubles,\u00a0<strong>M<\/strong>orgon,\u00a0<strong>R<\/strong>\u00e9gni\u00e9,\u00a0<strong>B<\/strong>rouilly and\u00a0<strong>C<\/strong>\u00f4te de Brouilly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If neither of these sentences feel right, why not come up with your own? All Jays Caw, etc. or Friday Morning Rituals, etc. But we can assure you, it\u2019s not easy!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"627\" height=\"418\" src=\"https:\/\/www.beaujolais.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/08\/021_ETIENNE_RAMOUSSE_INTER-BEAUJOLAIS_ETE_2018_BASSE-DEF_2018-1.jpg\" alt=\"View on the Beaujolais crus. \u00a9 Etienne Ramousse\" class=\"wp-image-7965\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">View on the Beaujolais crus. \u00a9 Etienne Ramousse<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><p><strong>2.
