Jerome Lacondemine makes Beaujolais Villages Nouveau from his youngest vines grown on south-facing slopes around the town of Beaujeu. A lot of work and care goes into the vineyard so this is not a just-fruity nouveau, this has more complexity. If you want more fruit, try the Deschamps Nouveau.

IMPORTANT: We order what people preorder with only a little bit extra stock, which usually sells out before the release date. I try to have enough to get to Christmas, but these past few years we haven't managed. So please don't wait until the last minute

Beaujolais Villages Nouveau 2018 case, by Alpine Wines' classic Jerome Lacondemine.

As in 2018, the wine is produced with no added sulfites until bottling and minimal intervention, allowing for more complexity in the wine

A version with not sulfites even at bottling is available, call us

Beaujolais Villages Nouveau (2019)

tasting notes:

From Burgundy Report, November 2019 "Jérôme Lacondemine, Coeur de Raisin
Medium, medium-plus colour. A cliché but attractive Beaujolais nose. Mouth-filling, cool fruit, really juicy, it’s long too. I think this more than excellent!"

My take: On the cool dark fruit, black cherries and blackberries. Nice edge of tannins and long finish. Lovely but more serious and will probably come out of its shell more over time. Buy more and drink throughout the year

Beaujolais Villages Primeur "Hommage a Philippe" (2019)

tasting notes:

This is silky smooth, rich, with lovely grippy tannins. Smells of flowers and blackberries, tastes of every black fruit, very long and moreish. Instant crowd pleaser.
