Beaujolais primeur

Beaujolais Primeur – very young wine from Beaujolais – Southern Bourgogne.
Made according to the method carbonique – the fermentation takes place in the grape itself, which is why the colour and flavour shape up quickly. This takes place in a sealed tank.
The flavour of Beaujolais Primeur is: red fruit like strawberries and raspberries, low acidity and few tannins, a slight carbon dioxide tickle.
A very supple, easy to drink wine.
This wine cannot be stored for more than a year, the is a risk of refermentation on the bottle.
The fruit-aromas will be gone after a year as well.
Beaujolais Primeur is allowed to be sold in The Netherlands from the 3rd of November.
Nowadays this isn’t that important anymore.
The Beaujolais Primeur is primarily sold in America.
