✨ Technical Specifications
Albert Bichot's Beaujolais Nouveau is a vibrant celebration of the harvest, capturing the joyful spirit of the historic 'Beaujolais Nouveau Day' celebrated globally on the third Thursday of November. Crafted from 100% Gamay grapes grown in the granite-rich soils of southern Beaujolais, this wine undergoes semi-carbonic maceration to emphasize fresh, explosive red fruit aromas of raspberry, wild strawberry, and a touch of banana. Founded in Beaune in 1831, Maison Albert Bichot brings its centuries of Burgundian expertise to this youthful cuvée, offering a bright, purple-hued wine that is light on tannins and bursting with immediate, convivial charm.
