This year, the fresh and vibrant new wine (Nouveau), made from grapes freshly harvested from the hills of Beaujolais, France, will be arriving. 🥰
The Beaujolais region in 2023 was blessed with good weather from early spring onwards, resulting in a stable vintage in terms of harvest volume. Although some production areas experienced a heatwave before the harvest, the grapes maintained a high level of ripeness, allowing for a fruity and concentrated flavor. 🍷🍇✨
Our store plans to stock a carefully selected total of 10 items, including Beaujolais and Beaujolais-Villages! ✨
