Some wine lovers LOVE this time of year - and the uncorking of the Beaujolais Nouveau harvest.
It’s release is always the third Thursday in November and the reviews are pouring in. As usual, it’s light to medium-bodied, with red berry and cherry fruit flavors. According to Wine Spectator, this year’s crop is a little different - for the better. It was harvested a few weeks later than in recent years, thanks to the cool and rainy spring in France which delayed flowering. The result: a little more grip and length than the typical Beaujolais Nouveau, which makes it a contender to enjoy with food rather than just for sipping.
If you’re new to the world of wine and would like to try the Beaujolais Nouveau, don’t wait. Unlike other red wines, it doesn’t improve with age and must be enjoyed six to eight weeks after harvest.
