Bringing back the Beaujolais

Bringing back the Beaujolais The 'Invincible' Toyota Hi-Lux headed deep into the vines of Beaujolais this morning to the winery of Henry Fessy. A Toyota forklift truck was awaiting to fully utilise it's 1.2 Tonne payload.

With the Beaujolais Nouveau safely on board, it headed north for blighty. The ‘Run was delighted to hear that Henry Fessy had won the gold medal at the Trophée Lyon. From the hundreds of wines submitted the ’Runs Beaujolais Villages Nouveau came top.

The ‘Run received special dispensation to taste at 15:15hrs on Wednesday ahead of the midnight release. The wine was showing red fruits, a deep garnet red and the most accomplished vintage yet.

The Fessy wine is easily distinguished as it has a special label by Toulouse-Lautrec.

Now the task to repatriate lays ahead post release.
