Green bananas and grape jelly. Hard to appreciate, even for what it is. The 2018 Domaine Ruet Beaujolais Villages Nouveau was markedly better.

Continuing my annual bottle of George's BN! So yummy and fun! Banana and strawberry and smooth. Good 🦃 wine!

This is probably the best Beaujolais Nouveau I’ve had yet! Beautiful dark purple in color and very fruity! Nothing better than a delicious wine with Thanksgiving dinner.

This season’s Duboeuf Beaujolais Nouveau is pretty good. I'm not usually a fan of the early bottlings, so it's a bit of a surprise to find that I like it so. The nose - Gamay grapey - is nearly all dark fruit with a smattering of spice, and that profile holds true on the palate, too. It's a clean, brisk drink that doesn't seem to fall into the usual complaint of being too young. The spicy angle lends it maturity beyond its years, er, weeks. Happy Thanksgiving.

Pale ruby color. ✨👊🏻🌹✨‼️ wow- loads of rose water and underripe strawberry. This is what drinking alcoholic rose water tastes like?!

It’s Beaujolais and it’s meant to be an easy drink. It has the classic fruit forward semi sweet flavor. Liked it for what it is

This is a fairly simple, basic bottle of red that has light cherry notes. That being said, it’s a lot better than I remember Nouveau being in the past.

The reviews have leveraged my enthusiasm for this wine. I purchased on sale and I’m happy with the dryness and strategic balance of fruitiness.
