Georges Duboeuf Beaujolais-Villages Nouveau 2026
S$52.50
It’s BEAUJOLAIS NOUVEAU TIME! Every year, on the 3rd Thursday of November, wine-lovers gather to celebrate the vintage with Beaujolais Nouveau – the first wine of the season! This young wine is a uniquely fresh and fruity wine – made from the Gamay grape and bottled only 6-8 weeks after the harvest. It is made using whole-berry carbonic maceration, which draws out the intensely fruity flavours with less bitter tannins and intended for enjoyment while young.
Beaujolais-Villages is considered fuller bodied than ‘regular’ Beaujolais Nouveau. It is a more complex wine for connoisseurs looking for a singular expression of primeur Gamay. It is sourced from the same 38 villages of the Beaujolais-Villages A.O.C where there are more granite and schist in the terroir compared to Beaujolais AOC.
Beaujolais Nouveau wines show definite variation between vintages, and as such are considered to be an early indicator of the quality of the year’s regional wine harvest.
Enjoy slightly chilled!
A brilliant purple colour. An intense nose of ripe dark fruits, plum and blackberry. On the palate, the wine is generous and luscious, with notes of stewed fruit and black cherry. A warming wine shaped by the sunshine.
About 2026 Harvest by Adrien Duboeuf-Lacombe
2026 is emerging as an exceptionally early vintage, marked by heat, challenging weather and low volumes. The grapes’ excellent ripeness and the diversity of the terroirs give the teams at Maison Georges Duboeuf rich material to work with. The first wines are generous, round and expressive; the blends seek the harmony that will reveal the full character of this distinctive year.
This vintage reminds us that the future of our wine sector depends on an ongoing dialogue with nature. Preserving the fruit and freshness that define Beaujolais, while embracing the richness of sunnier vintages, will be one of the major challenges in the years ahead. We will need to adapt our practices thoughtfully, while remaining true to the spirit of our wines. As harvests become less consistent, we must also consider the availability of our wines: maintaining the diversity of our sources, nurturing relationships with our partner growers and anticipating demand to sustain our presence in markets over the long term. The pace of winemaking thus invites us to look beyond the next harvest. Our responsibility is to pass on a living identity, capable of adapting, and to ensure that those who love our wines can continue to enjoy them, year after year.
On Thursday 19 November 2026, the arrival of Beaujolais Nouveau wines will once again celebrate a year’s work. For 75 years, this occasion has brought people together in Beaujolais, across France and far beyond our borders.
