While people can debate stuffing versus dressing or even call dibs on who gets a turkey leg, one item on the holiday table has everyone in agreement. When a bottle of the Georges Dubœuf Beaujolais Nouveau is opened, the holiday cheer is in full effect.

Conversations about wine can go in many directions. Some people will happily take a deep dive into terroir nuances, old vines, and celebrated vintages. Others would prefer to just open a bottle and enjoy a glass. With Georges Dubœuf Beaujolais Nouveau, both parties can find a common ground.

While many wine spend countless months nestled in the cellar, the Beaujolais Nouveau is a young wine that is meant to be enjoyed in its youth. While it might be a fun play on words to say that it never gets old, the reality is that this wine is meant to be enjoyed soon after it is bottled. That vibrant, vivacious wine is best enjoyed before the year’s end.

As Aurélien Dubœuf, third-generation of Georges Dubœuf commented, “Beaujolais Nouveau is our heritage, our culture, and our wine. We are very intentional in the production of it. We select some of the highest quality Gamay grapes, from 20+ year-old vines and vinify to capture the signature freshness, fruitiness, and vibrancy. Above all this wine is a centerpiece to our celebrations.”

Since the offering is a young wine, it is easy to drink. Usually hitting store shelves around the third Thursday in November, many people feature it during the holiday season.

Whether enjoyed on its own, paired with simple appetizers, or however people please, it is meant to pair well with the festivities of the season. Whether it is the person who never opens a wine bottle or the person who has a diverse cellar, this wine style is appreciated for what it is.

While there seems to be an underlying floral note, the wine does what it is intended to do, pair well with almost any food or occasion. Buy the bottle, open it, and enjoy. This offering should be a memory by the time 2024 hits.
