The early history of Beaujolais Nouveau can trace its roots to 19th century when the first wines of the vintage were sent down the Saône to the early bistros of Lyon. Upon their arrival signs would be put out proclaiming "Le Beaujolais Est Arrivé!" and its consumption was seen as a celebration of another successful harvest.
It is the lightest, fruitiest style of Beaujolais and meant for lighthearted and joyful consumption.
A bottle of Beaujolais should always be kept in the fridge to bring an auspicious Spring into your household.
