I've only had Nouveau Beaujolais from Debeouf, remembering a great variation from year to year. Was not expecting much depth and structure, and basically am slightly impressed, as over all, this is quite respectable. Not big, or rich, there is still a slight amount of the gamey, flinty flavor we often taste with Gamay. Don't quite get as much indication of carbonic maceration, but then again, this is not the third week in November, so this has sat around foe 3 more months. Getting enough acid to keep things in balance. Giving it 86 points because it is doing what it was designed to do. The finish is kind of grapey.

This bottle started to show some breathless sings.
Still refreshing and full aromatic
Last bottle of BN for this year.
Esta botella comenzó a mostrar algunos signos de fatiga.

Like the aromatics, but this has low acidity and is simple, even for a Nouveau. Tastes like a 2 year old Rosé.

A standard, non-serious, yet quite tasty Beaujolais Nouveau. A fruity crowd pleaser.

Lovely and fruity fragrant Gamay aroma. Better than expected.
Easy drink just for fun.
Adorable y afeitado aroma a Gamay fragante. Mejor de lo esperado.
Un trago fácil simplemente por diversión.
