Somehow, it is that time of year again! Beaujolais Nouveau Day is approaching steadily.
As always, and for the 14th year running, Le Caveau will bring super exciting and smile-inducing Nouveau from well-known, low-intervention growers.
Harvest ’26 has been surprisingly generous and of good quality, in general, despite the succession of heat waves (6 between May and September, a record) and the lack of rainfall.
Despite this adversity, the vines found the resource to produce a very decent crop in most French regions, proving once again, that organic, well-tended vineyards are incredibly resilient.
JEAN FOILLARD - Beaujolais Nouveau 2026
Jean Foillard needs no introduction, his wines are true gems, and each year we eagerly await to discover and taste his Nouveau. Bright, fresh raspberry flavours with flowery notes, delicious Gamay which tastes even better the following summer.
Quick words on Beaujolais Nouveau:
Traditionally Beaujolais Nouveau Day is celebrated in France and all over the World on the third Thursday in November, parties and events are held to celebrate the first wine of the season. Under French law, the wine cannot be sold before 12:01 a.m on that day,
The Nouveau wines we propose are straight from the cellars of small producers who farm their land sustainably, make wines without hard manipulations nor additives. The results are juicy, fun-filled, joyous and honest wines, that capture the pure aromas of the newly harvested Gamay grapes.
