Beaujolais Nouveau is a young, fruity, and fresh red wine that is made and released every year on the third Thursday of November only 6-8 weeks after the grapes are harvested. Beaujolais Nouveau is a festive and fun wine what the French call "vin de soif" that is thirst-quenching and easy to drink. It is a wine that has become synonymous with Georges Duboeuf, as it was his incredible spirit and pride that that made this (first wine of the harvest) an international sensation.
