The Beaujolais vinegrowing region is one of the only ones in France where the red wine is made using whole bunches of grapes. To craft Beaujolais Nouveau, the clusters of Gamay are handpicked and placed whole in the vinification vats. Every stage of fermentation is then thought through and decided upon according to the qualities that nature has imparted on the year's crop.

Gamay isn’t a grape to keep you waiting. When vinified using the Beaujolais method, it quickly frees a plethora of fragrant aromas and flavours. From its very first hours in the vat, Beaujolais Nouveau dons a cherry-hued robe and breathes out a fruity bouquet. The winemaker carefully watches over the transformation of the grapes to wine, which will only show its true nature to the taste buds after a few weeks’ patience.

When it's shivery cold outside, this wine for simple pleasures, this wine to discover, this wine that makes friends with every palate, becomes the perfect partner to lovingly prepared home cooking.
