This year鈥檚 vintage is expected to be especially 鈥渇ruity鈥�, with a 鈥済ood length on the mouthfeel鈥�, according to .

New Beaujolais is traditionally opened on the third Thursday of November, and the first symbolic bottles of the vintage, usually made with black Gamay and Pinot Noir, have now been tasted.

Beaujolais is usually a light-bodied red wine, from the region of the same name, just above Lyon in the Rh么ne-Alpes and southern Sa么ne-et-Loire.

The 2017 vintage has been described as offering hints of 鈥渟trawberry, blackcurrant and banana鈥�, and may be a 鈥渟urprising [experience] for a less-seasoned鈥� taster.

And yet, despite its status as a French Appellation d'Origine Contr么l茅e (AOC) wine, and the prolific production of the region, Beaujolais is sometimes seen as less popular in France than others kinds, and often seen as having to work hard to compete against other more-favoured varieties.

Oddly enough, in Japan, Beaujolais is actually extremely popular, and there is even a regular wine festival in honour of the variety. This year will celebrate its 66th anniversary, with some revellers even set to take communal baths of the wine to celebrate the new bottles鈥� arrival.
