Grape: 100% Gamay
Pre-Order Beaujolais Nouveau Albert Bichot 2026
Every year, wine lovers around the world celebrate the arrival of Beaujolais Nouveau on the third Thursday of November. In 2026, the official release takes place on Thursday, 19 November.
Produced from 100% Gamay, Beaujolais Nouveau is the first wine of the new vintage. Albert Bichot uses a short, temperature-controlled maceration with whole grape clusters, following the traditional Beaujolais method. This preserves the wine’s freshness and brings its lively fruit character to the forefront.
Deep ruby red in colour, the wine offers an intensely fruity and youthful character, with notes of wild cherry, raspberry, fig and delicate sweet spices. The palate is fresh, supple and generous, making it an easy and joyful wine to share.
Enjoy it slightly chilled as an aperitif or pair it with charcuterie, cheese platters, roasted poultry, grilled meats, pizza and other relaxed dishes.
Important pre-order information:
All online order, deliveries and in-store collections will begin on Thursday, 19 November 2026. Beaujolais Nouveau cannot be delivered or collected before its official release date.
La Maison du Vin imports only a very small allocation each year. Pre-ordering is highly recommended to secure your bottles.
