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 word of the wine: Shipping (liquor)
In champagne and wines made according to the traditional method, wine is added before corking to fill the void in the bottle created by disgorging. This added wine is often sweetened by sugar incorporated in variable proportions according to the style of wine sought (see dosage). Syn.: liqueur de dosage.
