Beaujolais Wine
Beaujolais wine is one of the most popular wines in the world. Very well known for its Beaujolais nouveau event that takes place on the 3rd Thursday of November. The new wine is released after a short fermentation and is only allowed to be served from midnight on that day. Made from the Gamay grape, this relatively light-bodied wine boasts a refreshingly fruity taste and gorgeous medium-red tones. Deep, seductive notes of dark fruits, plum, and ripe cherries accompany juicy tannins. Each sip ends in a silky smooth finish that lingers beautifully on the tongue.
