Quick Summary

Beaujolais nouveau is a type of Beaujolais wine from the Beaujolais region of France. This red wine is made from the Gamay grape and is known for its light body, fruity taste, and refreshing quality.

Beaujolais nouveau is specifically a very young wine, released shortly after the grape harvest and intended for immediate consumption. It became particularly fashionable in the latter half of the 20th century, with a significant portion of Beaujolais production being drunk as nouveau by the early 1990s. This wine is often served chilled.12
