Beaujolais Nouveau

Beaujolais Nouveau is a young red wine from the Beaujolais region in France, made primarily from the Gamay grape. It is released each year on the third Thursday of November, celebrated globally as a moment to enjoy the first wine harvest of the season. The wine is known for its light, fruity flavors, often described as tasting of berries and bananans, due to a quick fermentation process called carbonic maceration. Beaujolais Nouveau is meant to be consumed fresh and is typically enjoyed in casual settings, making it a festive part of fall wine culture.
