It Is Beaujolais Nouveau Time Again

Back in 1985 a marketing plan was created that gave a specific release date for Beaujolais Nouveau wine so that everyone could celebrate the harvest at one time. So on the eve of the third Thursday in November the newly created wine for that year hits the shelves in stores around the world.

Beaujolais Nouveau is an un-aged wine from the southernmost part of the Burgundy region in France. While both red and white wines come from Beaujolais it is the red that comes from the unique gamay grape that has made the area famous. Since it is consumed within weeks of being harvested and pressed this wine is full of simple flavor that goes well with the holiday season.

Many feel that DuBoeuf is one of the best producers of this wine making it an ideal pairing with the festive foods that are served at gatherings this time of year. Buy a bottle of Beaujolais Nouveau for yourself and also buy it for the wine enthusiast on your holiday list. It makes the perfect filler for a Personalized Wine Box for the host or just under the tree.
