More informations about the region of Beaujolais
Emblematic Beaujolais style, a primeur wine released on the 3rd Thursday of November since 1985. Gamay noir made by short carbonic maceration: very fruity, quaffable reds with explosive signature notes of ripe banana, English boiled sweets, strawberry, raspberry and fresh grape, light tannins and an airy palate - to be drunk cool, young, straight from the vat. A festive global phenomenon launched by Georges Duboeuf, a convivial French symbol. With charcuterie or among friends.
