Yesterday I traveled to Houston to celebrate #beaujolaisnouveauday - the release of the 1st wines of the 2019 harvest, with Ann & Franck Duboeuf. Hail in May and a blazing hot summer posed challenges for the Beaujolais Nouveau vineyards this year. “The difference is greater this year between Beaujolais Nouveau and Nouveau Village due to weather. 2019 has less blue fruit and more red fruit, with bright floral notes. The wines are lighter in style but very pleasant with fresh acidity,” explains Franck Debouef. Beaujolais Nouveau and Nouveau Village wines are the workhorse wines of the region, providing a firm foundation for the region’s economy. The production is large, with a keen eye on high quality at a value price. The recently imposed 25% tariffs on French wine is crushing to both grape growers and consumers on such an inexpensive wine. Duboeuf, in partnership with their US importer, Quintessential, has absorbed this 25% to maintain the value price of the wines, while protecting grower’s livable wage. The 2019 vintage sold in the US feature the artwork of this year’s @georgesduboeufofficiel Beaujolais Nouveau Label Artist’s Competition winner, fellow Texan Laura Runge. Her “joyful crush” painting appears on over a million bottles of Duboeuf’s three 2019 Nouveau wines. Get your Beaujolais rose, Nouveau, & Nouveau Village wines today, they pair perfect with fun, friends, laughter, and Thanksgiving! #thirdthursdayofnovember #youcansipwithus #firstwineoftheharvest #georgesduboeuf #beaujolaisnouveau #roseallday #roseeveryday #thanksgiving #winelife #wineonmytime #wineoftheday #womenwhowine #makememories #winelover #winetasting #gogamaygo
