✨ wine.spec_sheet
Maison Joseph Drouhin, established in 1880, brings its signature Burgundian elegance to the festive tradition of Beaujolais Nouveau. Crafted entirely from the Gamay grape grown in the granite-rich soils of the Beaujolais region, this wine is produced using traditional semi-carbonic maceration to capture the ultimate expression of fresh, vibrant fruit. Historically, Beaujolais Nouveau was a simple local wine celebrating the end of the harvest, but it evolved into a global phenomenon on the third Thursday of November. Drouhin's rendition is celebrated for its purity, eschewing heavy-handed industrial techniques to deliver a joyful, aromatic profile bursting with red berries, wildflowers, and a hint of spice, embodying the true spirit of the harvest celebration.
