Beaujolais Nouveau is a lot of fun...
After their showcase tasting yesterday afternoon, ‘Runners were left in no doubt as to the quality of 2018’s wines. The Beaujolais Nouveau is really a lot of fun, but also signposts the possibilities for the nearby Burgundy region. If the preview was anything to go by, this could be one of the greatest vintages yet despite the initial frosts in 2018 making it a small one.
The ‘Runners joined the vigneron of the region for a cavalcade of wine and Folies Bergére style entertainment in the heady Autumn night. And just before midnight, led the procession of flaming torches for the release of the new vintage in the town square accompanied by fireworks and dancing until late in the night.
