BEAUJOLAIS NOUVEAU: THE ART OF CELEBRATING WINE WITH BALGUERIE

Beaujolais nouveau is not just a wine, it’s a tradition celebrated the world over. And to ensure that every bottle arrives safely and unaltered, Balguerie works behind the scenes. As a specialist in the transport of wines and spirits, we regularly accompany producers as they take their vintages beyond our borders.

BEAUJOLAIS NOUVEAU, A FRENCH TRADITION CELEBRATED THE WORLD OVER

Every year, the third Thursday in November is the rendezvous for wine lovers with the arrival of Beaujolais nouveau. In 2024, it will be unveiled on November 21st, in keeping with a festive tradition that has lasted since 1985 in France, but also from Tokyo to New York.

Produced mainly from the Gamay grape variety, this en primeur wine comes from the Beaujolais and Beaujolais-Villages appellations, and accounts for around a third of this wine region’s total production.

Why November? Set for practical and administrative reasons, it enables producers to ensure that their wines are ready on time, avoiding any delays due to weekends or public holidays.
