Currently The Most Current Beaujolais Nouveau For Just $8.99 Per Bottle:   Georges Duboeuf 2023

Yes, it is too early for the 2024 release of Beaujolais Nouveau, which arrives on the 3rd Thursday of November.   Can't wait?  We got our hands on a little of the 2023 that was left over at a supplier from last year.  Contrary to the prevailing wisdom on the subject, it doesn't expire like a jug of milk weeks after production. In fact, I would argue that it is too young to be taken seriously, and like all of us, gets better with age.  I have opened several bottles of Beaujolais Nouveau over the years that were 10 years old or more and they were delicious.  Here's your chance to beat the November rush and grab a handful of bottles from my limited stock of 2023. When it's gone, it's gone.   Not a fan of Duboeuf style of Nouveau?  As I have done for the past couple of years, I will be bringing in a variety of Beaujolais Villages and Cru wines I believe are a better value than the Nouveau and its built-in air-freight cost.

Our $108 Wooden Crate Bordeaux

Also Available In White

Chateau La Castillonne Red, our best selling wooden crate Bordeaux of all time, has a sibling. The red has been known for its consistent quality year in an year out. It is a classic 50/50 blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot that has crowd-pleasing brambly fruit notes, a dryness that lends it self well to pairing with a variety of foods without over powering them, and finishes with firm but gentle tannins.

Chateau La Castillonne White, says “Sauvignon Blanc” on the label but it likely also includes a small amount of Semillon, another important grape from the Bordeaux region responsible for rounding the edges and softening the citrus notes of the predominant grape, giving the resulting wine a luscious structure and mouth-feel.

Try either wine for $10.99 a bottle or grab a wooden crate of 12 bottles for just $108, a savings of almost $2 per bottle. While drier than a typical domestic wine, Bordeaux wines are typically lighter in alcohol and much lower in residual sugar, with minimal chemical adulteration for people who care about such things.
