£14.00 Single Bottle

Release date: 21st Nov 2024

It’s that time again Le Beaujolais est Arrivé! Beaujolais Nouveau day this year is Thursday 21st November.

Once again we have partnered with Cecile and Alain Dardenelli from Domaine Bel Avenir in La Chapelle de Guinchay, 3 kilometrs east of Chenas.

Their grapes are harvested from vines planted on an array of different terroirs: siliceous clay (St Amour), granite (Chenas) and limestone. The couple own vineyards in the Beaujolais-Villages plain as well as in the Crus of Juliénas, Chénas, St Amour and Fleurie.

We are always excited to see what this years harvest will bring. The 2024 growing season started with rain and cool temperatures with intense sunshine during summer. Fingers crossed we have all the elements for a good year.

You can expect bubble-gum, raspberries, cherries and fresh, vibrant, and juicy fun.

Gamay

Gamay is a thin, delicate purple-black skinned grape which is cylindrical and compact, surrounded by flat, fairly even-edged leaves.

Although granite soils seem to be its soil of choice, the variety is good at adapting. Half of the 30,000 hectares of Gamay planted worldwide are in the Beaujolais region of France, where it covers 98% of the areas that produce Beaujolais wine.

Beaujolais, France

The hilly Beaujolais vineyards stretch out from north to south over 55km, bordered to the west by the Massif Central, and to the east by the Saone river.

Beaujolais vineyards are emblematic in the French national landscape, but are still teeming with secrets to be unearthed. The region has a constent sense of welcome and sharing. Sculpted over centuries it is personified by its 12 AOCs.

Cécile Dardenelli, Domaine Bel Avenir

Cécile and her husband Alain are fourth generation winemakers. The estate was created by Albert Dardanelli in 1961. It has since expanded to 18 hectares with vineyards in the Beaujolais Crus of Morgon, St Armour, Moulin-à-Vent, Régnié, Juliénas and Fleurie. Their daughter Laura is already working on the estate and she will become the fifth generation to run the domaine.

    This is a delicious Beaujolais Nouveau. The hot weather may have reduced yields but the wine has a greater intensity of flavour as a result. Excellent wine: time for a Beaujolais Nouveau breakfast party.
