1 person found it helpfulMay 30th, 2024Medium purple in color; jolly ranchers, violets, and bananas on the nose; medium acidity; low tannins; tastes like pomegranates, tart cranberries, and clay pots with a medium finish. Has a bitter flavor that detracts from the wine. Not bad, but it smells much better than it tastes. I think it's ok. Nellie doesn't Iike it.

Dark ruby. Grapey banana bubblegum nose. Light body on the palate which yields red berries and only a hint of the candy-like notes. Pretty firm tannins for a Nouveau; I actually had to run this through an aerator. All in all, a solid and quite drinkable Beaujolais Nouveau that deserves a place on the Thanksgiving table. A “grandmother wine” that even serious wineaux can enjoy with friends and family.

Beaujolais Nouveau is always made using carbonic maceration, where whole grapes ferment inside the berry, producing super-fruity aromas and soft tannins. It’s one of the world’s fastest wines from harvest to bottle, just weeks.

Nov 29th, 2024Extremely easy to drink, juicy strawberries on nose and palate. Decent acidity, short finish. Fresh and bright, nice paring with light dishes including veggies. A bit chilled or room temp can be either way ok. Noble to the budget!
