Georges Duboeuf | Beaujolais Nouveau 2025 | 12.5%

Beaujolais Nouveau Day is marked in France on the third Thursday in November with fireworks, music and festivals. Under French law, the wine is released at 12:01 a.m., just weeks after the wine's grapes have been harvested. Parties are held throughout the country and further afield to celebrate the first wine of the season. Beaujolais Nouveau is that much-ballyhooed cherry-red coloured vintage that’s best served chilled -- is clearly not for wine snobs. This fresh and fruity red is the result of a quick fermentation process that ends up with a tasty, clean wine that is enjoyed by palates the world over. 

Beaujolais Nouveau is unique because it is released just weeks after harvest, capturing the vibrant freshness of the Gamay grape. Made using carbonic maceration, a fermentation method where whole grapes ferment in sealed vats, the result is a light, fruity wine brimming with energy and immediate appeal.

The 2025 vintage reflects an excellent growing season, delivering juicy notes of red cherries, raspberries, and wild strawberries, layered with hints of violets and soft spice. On the palate, it is bright, lively, and supple, with smooth tannins and a refreshing finish that perfectly embodies the spirit of Beaujolais Nouveau.

Traditionally enjoyed young, this wine is best served slightly chilled and shared among friends. It pairs beautifully with charcuterie, soft cheeses, roasted poultry, or even a simple pizza, making it as versatile as it is joyous.

A true symbol of conviviality, Georges Duboeuf Beaujolais Nouveau 2025 invites wine lovers to raise a glass to the harvest and the timeless French art of celebration.
