Fred Tasker’s Beaujolais Nouveau Notes

Beaujolais Nouveau is a tempest in a tea pot. It’s a modest wine, always the first wine made after the harvest, bottled six weeks after harvest, while some really big wines get years of aging before they’re bottled.
So it’s a simple wine. Usually very crisp and fruity, without the complexity of wines that will be released later. In fact, the regular. Non-Nouveau Beaujolais that will be released after the first of the year is bigger, more powerful and a far more serious wine.

Still, the Nouveau is a good excuse for a party. It’s unveiled by French law after midnight on the third Thursday in November. That would be today. You can find South Florida Georges Duboeuf Beaujolais Nouveau parties at duboeufnouveau.com
