The wine region of Beaujolais Nouveau
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.
The wine region of Beaujolais
Kingdom of Gamay (98% of the vineyard): fruity, accessible reds with signature notes of cherry, raspberry, banana (carbonic maceration), violet and sweet spices, supple tannins and juicy acidity. From festive Beaujolais Nouveau (3rd Thursday of November) to the 10 more structured, age-worthy Crus: deep earthy Morgon, sturdy Moulin-à-Vent, floral Fleurie, crunchy Brouilly. Some lively Chardonnay. 12,000 ha south of Burgundy, granitic soils.
The word of the wine: Maturing (champagne)
After riddling, the bottles are stored on "point", upside down, with the neck of one bottle in the bottom of the other. The duration of this maturation is very important: in contact with the dead yeasts, the wine takes on subtle aromas and gains in roundness and fatness. A brut without year must remain at least 15 months in the cellar after bottling, a vintage 36 months.
