2023 Beaujolais Nouveau

WHAT IS BEAUJOLAIS NOUVEAU:

"Thursday November 16th is Beaujolais Nouveau Day, a time to celebrate new French wines, fresh from the harvest. This famous day in a wine lovers calendar is celebrated every year on the third Thursday of November and is a young wine made from Gamay grapes. Notoriously juicy stuff.

Exactly on the stroke of midnight, Beaujolais residents open the barrels of the new wine and declare: Le Beaujolais Nouveau est arrivé! This also coincides with the timing of the release of all Beaujolais Nouveau wines available for sale across the globe because under French law, they cannot be released any sooner than this date!

HOW TO CELEBRATE IN LONDON:

There are so many Beaujolais Nouveau releases without much explanation or celebration, so this year at Top Cuvée we pay our respects to the harvest that was with two different parties!

Our Finsbury Park restaurant will be serving up a 4-course dinner that showcases the best wines of the region alongside some hearty French specials.

Similarly, the team over at our sister wine bar, Cave Cuvée in Bethnal Green, will be offering one of their signature wine tastings, delving deeper into the fun and juicy world of Beaujolais Nouveau, an evening to taste and learn in an unpretentious way.
