Beaujolais is one of France's most accessible regions for buyers seeking a wine estate for sale: from the granite slopes of the ten crus to the Pierres Dorées, the gap between terroir quality and land prices attracts a new generation of winegrowers. Find Beaujolais estates, vineyards and vine parcels for sale in the Rhône department and southern Saône-et-Loire.
The ten crus — Saint-Amour, Juliénas, Chénas, Moulin-à-Vent, Fleurie, Chiroubles, Morgon, Régnié, Brouilly, Côte de Brouilly — carry old-vine Gamay on granite, with land from €20,000 to over €90,000/ha. Beaujolais-Villages offers gentler entry prices, ideal for first installations and organic conversion. The Pierres Dorées, thirty minutes from Lyon, combine vines with strong wine-tourism potential.
Between 2020 and 2025, 959 vine sales were recorded in Beaujolais (DVF data). Half of all deals closed below €42,197/ha, the average reaching €51,013/ha, with extremes from €6,183/ha to €350,000/ha.

Detailed cru-by-cru figures in our observatory of vineyard prices in France.
Vine age matters — the vineyard is old and replanting is costly — as do slope mechanisation, négociant contracts and the share of direct sales. Lyon's proximity supports wine-tourism income: tasting room, gîte, events. Our white paper on creating and taking over a wine estate helps structure a takeover, including for international buyers.
The crus' new appeal gives sellers a deeper market than a decade ago: young winegrowers, newcomers from other regions, Lyon investors. Files documenting vine age, density and replacement rates — and the split between crus, Villages and generic Beaujolais — sell distinctly better.
Old gobelet-trained vines make the crus' quality but demand manual work: build real labour costs and parcel-renewal pace into the takeover plan. Estates that already restructured — trellising, targeted replanting — rightly command a premium.
A 10-hectare estate in the crus with buildings typically trades between €600,000 and €1.5m — unmatched value for appellations of this reputation.
