Two rivers, two destinies. The Saône carried Beaujolais to Lyon; the Charente sent Cognac across the seas. Together, they turned craftsmanship into culture — and wine into France’s most eloquent ambassador.

Two worlds, one passion: discover how Beaujolais winemakers and Swiss coffee roasters share a love for terroir, craftsmanship and tasting rituals.
