Beaujolais Nouveau

Le Beaujolais Nouveau est arrivé! The third Thursday of each November heralds the arrival of Beaujolais Nouveau, the new wine bottled immediately after fermentation without aging.

Production

The key to the production of Beaujolais Nouveau is carbonic maceration (whole berry fermentation). In this process, little to no tannins produce, which prevents the grape skins from producing tannins. This technique allows the fruity flavors shine in the wine.

Fun Facts

~Beaujolais Nouveau can be made only with grapes from the Beaujolais and Beaujolais-Villages appellations~
~Beaujolais is meant to be drunk as a young wine and should be consumed by the following May~
~Approximately one-third of the entire Beaujolais crop is sold as Beaujolais Nouveau~
~The only grape used to make Beaujolais Nouveau is the gamay~
~The gamay grapes for Beaujolais Nouveau are picked by hand
~
~Beaujolais Nouveau should be served chilled to 55ºF~
~In the United States, it is common to serve Beaujolais Nouveau with the Thanksgiving meal~
