A Beaujolais Feast at Saint Jacques French Cuisine on the day that celebrates another successful harvest and the arrival of the ‘new wine’ (vin nouveau) in the Beaujolais region🍷

Discover Beaujolais
#beaujolaisnouveau

Every year on the third Thursday of the month people celebrate the arrival of Beaujolais Nouveau. When the clock strikes midnight, the bottles are opened and people stop to join what can only be described as a wine party! Beaujolais Nouveau originates from the Beaujolais region of France near Lyon.

It comes from the Gamay grape, which gives it its fruity aroma and bright red colour. As a vin primeur – a wine sold in the same year that it was harvested – Beaujolais Nouveau is unique in the sense that it is very young. It does not have to age for a long time in the cellar like other wines and it is released for sale not long after fermentation (traditionally it could have even still been in the final stages of fermentation as it was being transported to the bars).

The official recognition of this wine came after the war in 1951 where regulations on the ageing of wine were revoked and a date was set for the official release of the Beaujolais Nouveau.
