Beaujolais Nouveau Rosé To Debut
Rosé fans will be joining Beaujolais Nouveau-lovers in eager anticipation of Thursday, November 15, when Beaujolais Nouveau Day also becomes Beaujolais Nouveau Rosé Day for the first time in the US.On this day, the third Thursday of November when French law allows the release of the "first wine of the harvest," Les Vins Georges Duboeuf (the family owned-and-operated winery that popularized Beaujolais Nouveau across the globe) is launching a "new" Nouveau.
According to Franck Duboeuf, who manages the winery with his legendary father Georges, the Nouveau Rosé is made from Gamay grapes carefully selected from the best vineyards in AOC Beaujolais. These same growers supply the winery with the grapes for their classic Beaujolais Nouveau. Some of them have worked with Georges Duboeuf since the winery's first Nouveau release in 1983.
"We are excited to send a Beaujolais Nouveau Rosé to the US for the first time," Franck says.
Gamay grape skins are nearly black, while the flesh and juice are white, so these same grapes can produce either a red or a rosé wine. Like the classic Beaujolais Nouveau, the Rosé is being made by Duboeuf's Chief Winemakers, Emeric Gaucher and Denis Lapalu, The winemakers explained that they look for grapes fit for rosé -- those with a slightly high acidity to retain a fresh mouthfeel.
