"Beaujolais Nouveau was traditionally made to celebrate the end of the harvest. Released on the third Thursday of November, this is always a light, fruity wine and is about as fresh a juice as you'll ever taste. Simple uncomplicated and fun to drink."
We're delighted to offer two examples of Beaujolais Nouveau this year. We're bringing back the terrific Domaine De La Couvette and alongside this we have an excellent fruit bomb form Domaine Andre Colonge.

Gautier Marion is the fifth generation of the family to manage Domaine de la Couvette, tucked into the gently undulating countryside of Southern Beaujolais.
If you could picture what a quintessentially small french producer should look like then Gautier's property would come very close. He takes great pride in making wines in the traditional carbonic macerated style using his trusty, old concrete vats, which he uses to age the wines as well. Respecting not only the winemaking traditions, but also their 11 hectares of land and the vines that are up to 50 years old, they demonstrate their commitment by making a fully organic Beaujolais.

André Colonge is a 30-hectare domaine run by two brothers, Landry and Samuel, and their father Serge (who is now semi-retired). It was originally started by Andre’s grandfather. 7 of their hectares are in Fleurie and 18 are Beaujolais / Beaujolais Villages.
They have gone from strength to strength overs the generations. Landry has moved into his grandparents house and this is where their old cellars are located and where the wines are matured in a variety of concrete tanks. Just like they did some 40 years ago!

Beaujolais Nouveau is a young, fruity red wine from the Beaujolais region of France, made entirely from the Gamay grape. Unlike most red wines, it’s released just weeks after harvest – always on the third Thursday of November – in a worldwide celebration known as Beaujolais Nouveau Day.
Made using a unique winemaking method called carbonic maceration, Beaujolais Nouveau is light, fresh and bursting with flavours of ripe strawberry, cherry and raspberry. It’s designed to be enjoyed immediately rather than aged, making it one of the most approachable and easy-drinking French wines around.
Perfect for parties and seasonal celebrations, Beaujolais Nouveau captures the spirit of the new vintage – vibrant, joyful and full of life.
