The wine is fermented for only a few weeks using the purple-colored Gamay grape grown exclusively in the Beaujolais sub-region of Burgundy. This makes it a ‘nouveau’ or ‘vin de primeur,’ a wine harvested for sale in the same year. Beaujolais farmers first celebrated the harvest in the 19th century.
