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

As in 2018, the wine is produced with no added sulfites (except a small amount at bottling time) and minimal intervention, allowing for more complexity in the finished wine

A proper wine made in a month by a true craftsman - fun and very good.

This is a more structured nouveau, dark fruit and some tannins, and the Deschamps is "fruitier" - most people get some of both.

Features Unoaked, Vegetarian and Vegan

Philippe Deschamps is usually more on the classic pure crystalline fruit and Jérome Lacondémine's has a bit more tannins and grip. Both are super fruity this year.

For a small team like us, getting all these orders out in time is also a bit crazy. But we love it! And so do our customers - our Nouveau is exceptional. Pick from the classic fruity Philippe Deschamps or the more intense Didier Lacondemine. Most people get both!

The tradition started in 1951 - prior to that Beaujolais could not be released before December 15th.

When the rules were relaxed to November 15th, a group of creative winemakers decided to run a race to Paris to be the first wine of the year on the table of restaurants. The rest is history.

  • Beaujolais is made from Gamay. We love Gamay at Alpine Wines and think it is sorely underrated.
  • Beaujolais Nouveau is actually a perfect companion to summer barbecues! It's a shame the Southern Hemisphere don't do a Gamay primeur as it'd be perfect timing... Thankfully our Nouveau easily keeps past Summer, just buy an extra case.
  • Beaujolais nouveau is often produced using a different type of fermentation than that used in most wines, called carbonic (or whole berry) fermentation. This makes a low tannin wine that is very fruity. Ours are only part carbonic
  • We have chosen winemakers who focus on expressing the fruit in the wine, with low or no added yeast, producing more typical red fruit and grape juice flavours in the wine.
  • Designer yeast can bring out very exotic flavours in Nouveau. We don't have any of these types of wines but they are very popular in Asia.
