The "Beaujolais Nouveau" is new for 60 years.

This is the first exciting wine event of the 2011 vintage!! The Beaujolais Nouveau is a tradition in Beaujolais for 60 years!  

In 1951, a decision of the French government authorizes the early launch on market. The Beaujolais nouveau took profit of this decision because the wines are very fruity and flavorful in Primeur.  While Bordeaux wines are sold in Primeur in march, the BN is ready to be drink the third week of November.  Moreover, it is very flavorful and fruity in this period.

The Beaujolais Nouveau became quickly an international event which represents nowadays the Opening of the New Vintage.  The well-known reputation of the BN is also due to its fantastic promotion. Each year the poster of the BN day is really beautiful, colored and efficient.

Let’s  have a look on some of them!
