The Beaujolais Renaissance & Arrival of Beaujolais Nouveau

Beaujolais, and its signature grape Gamay, has experienced a remarkable resurgence over the past two decades. What was originally considered by many as a pleasant, if boring, wine has seen an explosion in popularity (and price).

Gamay shares some of Pinot Noir’s elegance but is far less finicky, thriving in a variety of conditions. This adaptability allows it to produce everything from fresh, fruity table wines to complex bottles, depending on how it’s cultivated. When treated with care and a deep respect for terroir, Gamay reveals its true potential: a perfect balance of vibrant fruit, tannin, and warm spice.

Thanks to the dedication of producers who have championed Beaujolais as a serious wine region, we now enjoy an incredible diversity of styles.

So, why are we highlighting it this weekend? Two reasons:

• The coveted Duboeuf Beaujolais-Villages Nouveau has arrived! This limited-production vin de primeur is fermented just weeks before its release on the third Thursday of November. It’s young, fruity, and a beloved holiday tradition for Beaujolais enthusiasts.

• Beaujolais pairs PERFECTLY with turkey. Seriously, this is the wine you need for Thanksgiving. We’ve got a range of styles, prices, and flavor profiles for you to choose from!
