All the craze on the 3rd Thursday in November, every year,
is the release of the Beaujolais Nouveau.
Beaujolais nouveau
is a red wine made from Gamay grapes produced in the Beaujolais region of France.
The wine is bottled about two months after the grapes are harvested.
This leads to a very young wine with very little tannins (dryness).
Beaujolais Nouveau is intended for immediate drinking and not for keeping.
Drink up!!!
How does it look:
The Beajolais is youthful. It’s color is a light purple.
What are we smelling?
I’m getting hints of strawberry. Smelling some raspberry & peach too.
Also picking up some floral tones.
I’m tasting what???
The Beaujolais tastes young, fruity & juicy as it should!
Picking up hints of red cherry (& maybe even a little banana?).
Smooth finish.
Overall Experience:
It’s a soft wine yet a tad dry considering it’s youth.
It’s a tasty wine & when served slightly chilled makes for pleasant drinking.
