Georges Duboeuf Beaujolais Nouveau 2026

Few wines capture the excitement of a new harvest quite like Georges Duboeuf Beaujolais Nouveau. Founded in 1964 by Georges Duboeuf in Romanèche-Thorins, the house became one of Beaujolais’ most influential names. Duboeuf was instrumental in taking Beaujolais Nouveau from a local tradition to a worldwide celebration, with the arrival of each new vintage now marked on the third Thursday of November.

Made from Gamay, Beaujolais Nouveau is released just weeks after the grapes are harvested, making it the first opportunity to experience the character of the 2026 vintage. Its significance lies not in lengthy ageing or complexity, but in capturing the freshness, vitality and sheer enjoyment of the year’s newly harvested fruit.

Production traditionally employs carbonic or semi-carbonic maceration, where whole bunches undergo a short fermentation designed to maximise bright fruit aromas while extracting relatively little tannin. The wine is quickly prepared and bottled to preserve its youthful personality.

Georges Duboeuf’s classic Nouveau style is expected to emphasise fresh strawberry, raspberry and cherry, accompanied by floral notes and the juicy, supple texture characteristic of young Gamay.

Best served lightly chilled at around 12–14°C, it is wonderfully versatile with charcuterie, pâté, roast chicken, pork, sausages, burgers, pizza and soft cheeses.

Above all, Georges Duboeuf Beaujolais Nouveau is a wine for immediate enjoyment – a vibrant annual celebration of the new vintage and one of the wine world’s great traditions.

Pre-ordered wines will be dispatched with the aim of delivery on the release date of Thursday 19th November 2026
