Beaujolais Nouveau Day is back!
On Thursday 19th November 2026, the world will once again raise a glass to the freshest, fruitiest wine of the year.
What is Beaujolais Nouveau Day?
Born in the rolling hills of Beaujolais (between Mâcon and Lyon at the southern limit of Burgundy), this festivity started as winemakers celebrated the end of harvest with a first taste of their brand-new wine. What began as a local tradition quickly went global – with races to deliver the first bottles by all sorts of methods, hot air balloon, Concorde, even elephants! Now tens of millions of bottles of the new Beaujolais Nouveau vintage are shipped worldwide each season.
What’s in the bottle?
Classic Beaujolais Nouveau Red is made from 100% Gamay, crafted with carbonic maceration and bottled just weeks after harvest. The result? A juicy, vibrant, easy-drinking red that’s all about fun and freshness.
The Taste
Bright and juicy, with fresh strawberry, raspberry and cherry fruit, soft tannins and a lively, refreshing finish. Lovely lightly chilled.
