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.

RÉMI ET LAURENCE DUFAÎTRE, Domaine Botheland 

Beaujolais-Villages Nouveau 2026

Rémi and Laurence’s Nouveau always taste free and lively. Perfect weight of fruit, balanced by lip-smacking freshness.

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’ we propose are straight from the cellars of a new wave 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.
