[The spotlight is on the quality of the 2015 vintage: Having tasted and analyzed thousands of samples, Georges Duboeuf and his winemaking team believes that 2015 Beaujolais Nouveau will be one of the best they’ve ever produced. “Thanks to an extremely early harvest and blazing sunshine throughout the summer, our grapes have obtained perfect maturity this year,” said winemaker Georges Duboeuf. “This is why we believe that 2015 is such a special year and can compete with 1947, 1976, 2005 and 2009 – maybe even surpassing them.”

The 2015 vintage is predicted to be one of the all-time greats. The color is a deep red with tones of purple and garnet, and the nose offers a magnificent array of black current, blackberry, and blueberry. The wine is round, full-bodied with a long finish.]
