Joseph Drouhin Beaujolais Nouveau

“It offers all the freshness of a premier wine! According to the vintages, the wine may be fairly round, close to Burgundy style, or firmer. It reveals aromas reminiscent of red fruit, more or less strong, together with a refreshing acidity”.

2015 will undoubtedly be remembered as one of the greatest years ever in the Beaujolais. This year the skins very quickly yielded their juice, which is a pretty garnet colour with blue tints. The bouquet has good intensity and clearly presents notes of black fruits, blackberries and liquorice with a little spice. Areas of higher altitude, which produced grapes with more acidity and freshness, were favoured in our grape purchases. The hierarchy of the appellations has been respected with the Beaujolais being slightly less coloured and lighter, and the Beaujolais villages being more full-bodied and intense.
