Le Beaujolais nouveau est arrivé! - Every year on the third Thursday of November, the new Beaujolais wine arrives in bars and restaurants across France and in selected locations around the world. This wine comes from the historic province and wine-growing region of Beaujolais north of Lyon, which includes parts of the northern Rhône and parts of the southern Saône-et-Loire. It is a young wine that should be drunk as soon as possible as it does not age very well.
