It&#8217;s a very young wine, bottled and shipped by the third Thursday of November (today), very soon after harvest. It used to be a big deal; now, not so much. We&#8217;ve already started seeing 2013s from the southern hemisphere, who are six months ahead, and this has taken a bit of gloss off the Nouveau event. And the wines have usually been awful.<\/p>\n<p>UK retailer Marks &amp; Spencer have made a wine to breath life back into this campaign. It&#8217;s a really nice wine, and it&#8217;s also the first carbon neutral example, shipped by rail, not road, and packaged in recyclable and very light PET bottles. It&#8217;s quite delicious.<\/p>\n<p><strong>M&amp;S Beaujolais Nouveau 2013 France<\/strong><br \/>\n12% alcohol. Juicy, bright, supple and cherryish with a hint of grip under the lovely red fruits. There&#8217;s some fruit sweetness here, but also a bit of grip, and some subtle sappy notes. Very drinkable and not confected. 87\/100 (\u00a37.49 Marks &amp; Spencer)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Is there still life in Beaujolais Nouveau?
