Another year of bad news for fans of Beaujolais Nouveau. The growing season in the Beaujolais region in France was poor again this year. Hail and heat were the culprits this time. That, combined with continued worldwide supply chain issues means there will be far less Nouveau available than previous years. The supplier who we have bought our Nouveau from for many years decided to not bring any in this year.
All is not lost however. There are wines that are actually BETTER to go with Thanksgiving dinner than Nouveau… all the rest of the wines from Beaujolais. They are made using the same varietal but they come from the better growing areas in the region. Better quality grapes and better wine making methods give these wines ageability and richness you don’t see in Nouveau. There is even a white Beaujolais that is made with Chardonnay and it is delicious. Domaine Pral Beaujolais Blanc is 100% Chardonnay and runs $16.99 per bottle. We are also featuring an outstanding 2021 Beaujolais Villages from producer Domaine de Roche-Guillon for $12.99 that is great to drink now, and a 91 point monster of a Cru Beaujolais from Pascal Aufranc, the 2019 Chénas en Rémont “Vignes de 1939” that you can drink now or put away in your cellar at a special price of just $17.99 . Take an additional 15% off any of these wines when purchasing an unmixed case of 12, or mix-and-match a 12 bottle case and receive 10% off the single bottle price. If you are interested in learning more about Beaujolais you can read a really good article I found on the subject here:
