Beaujolais Nouveau Release Party: not one, but three days!
We go crazy this year! For those you can’t party on Thursday on the official worldwide release day. We keep some bottles of Beaujolais Nouveau and our special Raclette, as food option to pair with, the whole weekend!
This year, we choose the winery “L’Oiseau de Passage” (The Migratory Bird) from Julien Frappa. And this is the story he sent me about this wine:
“For this Beaujolais-Villages Nouveau, it's a ephemeral vintage. This is the first time I've done one, and I don't know if I'll do it again. It is rather the opportunity that gave life to this vintage. I had to uproot this vine which is very old and no longer produces much, to replant it in 2028. But with the drought we had, it turns out that the grapes were free of any disease, even though I had not done any treatment. So I decided to pick them up, to make one last vintage with this vine. They are therefore organic grapes that have had no phytosanitary treatment, and that have been vinified without input, except for a micro dose of sulphite at bottling. Vinified in carbonic maceration to keep lightness.”
We can’t wait!! Merci Julien!
