Beaujolais
Nouveau is celebrated on the third thursday of November
and even more on Friday, this year on the 15th and
16th of November.
More
than one third of the Beaujolais production is a
Beaujolais Nouveau wine.
Nouveau
stands for New. And therefore a Beaujolais Nouveau
is a wine that has been made the same year it is
marketed.
Beaujolais
is a light wine and should be drunk within 6 months
after the third Thursday of November. It should be
served chilled.
The
color of the 2007 Beaujolais Nouveau is a little
bit lighter than usual. Traditionally Beaujolais
has a deep purple robe.
Nose
is fruity as usual.
Taste
is smooth with aromas of cherry and plum. As usual,
almost no tannins displayed.
Beaujolais
Nouveau 2007 is somehow a traditional Beaujolais,
as always an easy to drink wine. The key thing is
to take it as it is, without expectation, and to
enjoy it as a party wine.
