Would you tell me about 2007 Beaujolais Nouveau?
Question
submitted by Sandy
Beaujolais
Nouveau is celebrated on the third thursday of November and
even more on Friday, this year on the 15th and 16th of November.
More than
one third of the Beaujolais production is a Beaujolais Nouveau
wine.
Nouveau
stands for New. And therefore a Beaujolais Nouveau is a wine
that has been made the same year it is marketed.
Beaujolais
is a light wine and should be drunk within 6 months after
the third Thursday of November. It should be served chilled.
The color
of the 2007 Beaujolais Nouveau is a little bit lighter than
usual. Traditionally Beaujolais has a deep purple robe.
Nose is
fruity as usual.
Taste
is smooth with aromas of cherry and plum. As usual, almost
no tannins displayed.
Beaujolais
Nouveau 2007 is somehow a traditional Beaujolais, as always
an easy to drink wine. The key thing is to take it as it is,
without expectation, and to enjoy it as a party wine.
