November 20th marks France’s famous Beaujolais Nouveau Day, or as they say in France, “Le Beaujolais Nouveau est arrivé!” It’s the day the newest vintage of Beaujolais Nouveau wines is released giving everyone a first taste of what the year’s harvest has to offer. These wines go straight from pressing to bottle making them juicy, bright, and oh-so-easy to drink.

As much as we love a good Beaujolais Nouveau, we’re putting our own Le Midi spin on the celebration. On the celebrated eve of the holiday, we’ll be diving into the best of the best from Beaujolais known as the legendary Crus. These wines come from the region’s most prized sites and represent just a small fraction of its total production.

Join us as we taste our way through some of the top Cru sites from the best winemakers in Beaujolais and showcase the bottles that capture this iconic region at its very best.
