Beaujolais Nouveau is a festive and fun wine – what the French call “vin de soif” – that is thirst-quenching and easy to drink. It is a wine that has become synonymous with Georges Duboeuf, as it was his incredible spirit and pride that that made this “first wine of the harvest” an international sensation. Les Vins Georges Duboeuf is the family owned-and-operated winery in the heart of the Beaujolais region of France that Georges founded in the early 1960s, with a rich history of collaborating with artists to create iconic labels for Beaujolais Nouveau. For many years, the wine was released every year with a different artist-designed label and the annual reveal of the label and design was almost as exciting as the wine itself. The different label designs reflected the wine inside — Beaujolais Nouveau is a new and different wine each year and each bottling a unique expression of that vintage and a preview of what is to come. It was in this spirit that, in 2017, Les Vins Georges Duboeuf held the first annual Beaujolais Nouveau Artist Label Competition. We continue this tradition and are again inviting artists from all over the U.S. to submit their own design that captures the joyous and exuberant qualities of Beaujolais Nouveau – all of the things that make it the perfect wine to share with friends, family, and loved ones. It is a celebration unto itself. Nouveau Label Contest Starting March 1st, 2021, please submit your original work for a chance to win cash grant prizes totaling up to $5,000 and the chance for your art to be displayed on over 1 million bottles of wine in the US. Go to nouveaulabelcontest.com . As labels are posted, you are welcome to vote for your favorites.

2020 Domaine Descroix Beaujolais Nouveau France – Burgundy – Beaujolais AOC
KYSELA PERE et FILS, LTD. www.kysela.com 2020 Domaine Descroix Beaujolais Nouveau France – Burgundy – Beaujolais AOC ABOUT DOMAINE DESCROIX Domaine Descroix is a fourth-generation family winery, founded in 1905 & currently owned by Xavier Descroix. The winery is located in the village of Lantignié, north of Beaujolais, right next to Beaujeu (the historic capital for which the Beaujolais region is named). The vineyards measures 11.27 hectares total (27.84 acres), with 9.75 hectares in Beaujolais and Beaujolais Villages AOC, and small parcels of Brouilly, Morgon, Beaujolais Villages Blanc & Bourgogne Blanc. The Beaujolais vineyards are in Beaujeu and Lantignié, where the soils are made of granite and sand, resulting in fruity wines with character. ABOUT THE WINE Nouveau originated about a century ago as a 'vin de l'année' - a cheap and cheerful drink produced by locals to celebrate the end of the harvest season. The Beaujolais AOC was established in 1937, and after WWII, the wine was sold outside of the area. By the 1970's, Beaujolais Nouveau day was a national event. We celebrate the wine’s release on the 3rd Thursday in November, just weeks after the grapes have been harvested. Today Beaujolais Nouveau accounts for 30% of Beaujolais’ production. Beaujolais exports to the US started to increase in 2015 & have continued steadily over the past few years. Beaujolais has experienced a renewal of sorts, with an increase in quality and diversity, as well as organic farming & interest from younger generations. The United States is the second largest importer of Beaujolais Nouveau at nearly 150,000 cases, which accounts for more than 15% of the region’s total exports and almost 8% of the 20 million cases produced.

Pre-Fermentation Maceration of Pinot Noir Wine
PRE-FERMENTATION MACERATION OF PINOT NOIR WINE A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the Degree , I of Master of Applied Science at Lincoln University by S. A. Goldsworthy Lincoln University 1993 i Abstract of a thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the Degree of M.Appl.Sc. PRE-FERMENTATION MACERATION OF PINOT NOIR WINE by S. A. Goldsworthy Two pre-fermentation treatments were investigated in Pinot noir (Vitis vinifera L.) wines. The effects of cold maceration and carbonic maceration on the wines' composition, colour parameters and sensory properties were examined. Cold maceration is a winemaking technique used to increase non-alcoholic extraction in Pinot noir winemaking prior to fermentation. It involves holding crushed grapes with approximately 100-150 mg r 1 S02 at low temperatures and is thought to increase the colour, aroma and flavour of the resulting wines. Carbonic maceration uses whole bunches that have undergone anaerobic metabolism to produce characteristically fruity and spicy wines. Pre-fermentation cold maceration produces wines that are higher in titratable acidity and monomeric anthocyanin content, but lower in colour density, hue and polymeric pigments. Reducing the maceration temperature below 10°C has little effect. Carbonic maceration produces wines that are lower in titratable acidity, monomeric anthocyanin content, and colour density but are higher in colour hue and amount of polymeric pigments. ii Quantitative descriptive analysis was used to define the effects of these pre-fermentation maceration treatments on the sensory characteristics of the resulting wine. Trained panel members found that there were no discernable sensory differences in the compositional parameters despite measurable chemical differences.

Carra Beaujolais Nouveau Domaine Manoir Du Carra France - Burgundy - Beaujolais AOC
Carra Beaujolais Nouveau Domaine Manoir du Carra France - Burgundy - Beaujolais AOC Beaujolais Nouveau originated about a century ago as a 'vin de l'année' - a cheap and cheerful drink produced by locals to celebrate the end of the harvest season. The Beaujolais AOC was established in 1937, and after WWII, the wine was sold outside of the area. By the 1970's, Beaujolais Nouveau day was a national event. The region of Beaujolais is 34 miles long from north to south, and 7 to 9 miles wide. There are nearly 4,000 grape growers who make their living in this picturesque region just north of France's third largest city, Lyon. The Gamay grapes that go into Beaujolais Nouveau are handpicked, as are all the grapes in the Beaujolais. Beaujolais & Champagne are the only vineyards where hand harvesting is mandatory. Gamay (Gamay noir Jus Blanc) is the only grape permitted for Beaujolais. Beaujolais Nouveau cannot be made from grapes grown in the 10 crus (great growths) of Beaujolais; only from grapes coming from the appellations of Beaujolais and Beaujolais- Villages. Approximately 1/3 of the entire crop of the Beaujolais region is sold as Beaujolais Nouveau. Nouveau is made with carbonic maceration, or whole-berry fermentation. This technique preserves the fresh, fruity quality of the grapes without extracting bitter tannins from the grape skins. Beaujolais Nouveau is a cherry-red, fruity, tasty, clean wine that is best served chilled. It is meant to be consumed young, within 5-7 months. Specifications Appellation Beaujolais AOC Varietals 100% Gamay Certifications Soil type clay Vinification Carbonic maceration (whole berry fermentation).

Aglianico from Wikipedia, the Free Encyclopedia
Aglianico From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Aglianico (pronounced [aʎˈʎaːniko], roughly "ahl-YAH-nee- koe") is a black grape grown in the Basilicata and Campania Aglianico regions of Italy. The vine originated in Greece and was Grape (Vitis) brought to the south of Italy by Greek settlers. The name may be a corruption of vitis hellenica, Latin for "Greek vine."[1] Another etymology posits a corruption of Apulianicum, the Latin name for the whole of southern Italy in the time of ancient Rome. During this period, it was the principal grape of the famous Falernian wine, the Roman equivalent of a first-growth wine today.

From Greece it was brought to Italy by settlers to Cumae near modern-day Pozzuoli, and from there spread to various points in the regions of Campania and Basilicata. While still grown in Italy, the original Greek plantings seem to have disappeared.[2] In ancient Rome, the grape was the principal component of the world's earliest first-growth wine, Falernian.[1] Ruins from the Greek Along with a white grape known as Greco (today grown as Greco di Tufo), the grape settlement of Cumae.

Current Wine List
Champagne Champagne is a region in France – the country’s northernmost winemaking region, to be exact. In the Champagne region, the growing season is shorter; thus, the grapes are picked with higher acidity than in most other regions, which is one of the reasons for Champagne’s distinct taste. Three grapes can be used to produce Champagne: Pinot Noir (red), Pinot Meunier (red), and Chardonnay (white). In France, only sparkling wines that come from the region of Champagne may be called “Champagne.” Some American producers have borrowed the name “Champagne” to put on the label of their sparkling wines. These cannot and should not be compared with Champagne from France. Champagnes are classified according to sweetness/dryness: Brut – driest; Extra dry – less dry; Sec – more sweet; and Demi sec – sweetest.

Carbonic Maceration
Carbonic Maceration: Modern version of a neolithic wine? How about: Le Beaujolais Nouveau est arrivé - for those familiar with Beaujolais (and its baby brother, Beaujolais nouveau), you might wonder why discuss such a frivolous winemaking procedure - self-respecting aficionados abhor this popular, infantile wine - two reasons, other than I love the wine - a faulty version that got me noted by the top brass of the MLCC, eventually leading to my being hired to assess the suitability of candidates for their tasting panel - without that experience, would I have written Wine Tasting: a Professional Handbook? - also, when writing Wine Science: Principles and Practice, I needed topics no other technical treatise discussed -carbonic maceration, maybe because the literature was in French (and Italian) was my chance - the same rationale induced me to delve into amarone production - your wife has had a field day, and collected more wild grapes than you can eat, vessel being handy, you store them in it - being diverted, a lion has sited and you are off to obtain a Tarzan loincloth rather than become supper - being a hot fall, during your sojourn hunting, the grapes begin to self- ferment - in the joy of your safe return, the pot of fruit continues to be forgotten - finally, an seraphic odor permeates your humble abode, and found to emanate from the pot - the grapes being somewhat mushy, attempting to pour the contents out produces a fluid - quick action finds a cup, and upon sampling you cry out “Eureka! Neolithic wine.” - ipso facto, the beau-joly of life called wine is borne.
