About the Wine:

"November marks the highly-anticipated release of the season's "first wine of the harvest" -- Georges Duboeuf 2019 Beaujolais Nouveau. As is customary and per French law, Beaujolais Nouveau is released at 12:01 a.m. on the third Thursday in November (this year on November 21).

Last summer's temperamental weather made for an unusual and unpredictable growing season in the region's vineyards, where nearly all the grapes grown are Gamay. The 2019 wines-Beaujolais Nouveau, Beaujolais-Villages Nouveau and Beaujolais Nouveau Rosé-are the expressive and impressive results. "This vintage was strongly shaped by the weather, which means our 2019 Beaujolais Nouveau will be unique and full of individual character," said Franck Duboeuf, who leads Les Vins Georges Duboeuf, founded by his father Georges in the early 1960s. Georges introduced the region's local tradition of toasting the harvest with the young wines to a global audience in the 1980s.

Beaujolais-Villages Nouveau is a dazzling garnet in color and intensely aromatic with decadent notes of red and dark berries. The well-bred Gamay is immediately expressive and hearty, with a full-bodied fruitiness that is fresh on the palate." - BWW News Desk
