POV: it’s midnight, fireworks are bursting overhead and you’re sipping this year’s Beaujolais Nouveau ✨
 
If you spent the summer falling for light, chillable reds, this one’s for you.
 
Just four weeks from today is Beaujolais Day, marking the annual release of Beaujolais Nouveau, which takes place on the third Thursday of November every year.
 
Beaujolais Nouveau, for the uninitiated, is one of the few w**es in the world that is produced, bottled and released in only a matter of weeks. The trick is whole-bunch fermentation: Gamay goes into the vat uncrushed and still on its stalks, and starts fermenting inside the berries. What you get is bright, juicy, fruit-forward w**e made to be opened now, not tucked away for a decade.

And the release day itself is a proper party. Live music, a costumed marathon through village cellars, tastings and dancing in the streets, with celebrations carrying on until dawn.
 
Swipe for a preview of the festivities, then visit the link in our bio to see how we’d plan a two-night getaway to join in the fun.

Save this for your next Bordeaux trip.
 
This is a snapshot of how we’d plan our perfect day on the Right Bank.
 
Two Grand Cru Classé châteaux bookend the day, with a long lunch in Saint-Émilion between them. Leave the afternoon free to wander the cobbled streets of this UNESCO-listed village and browse its w**e shops. Then it’s back to the hotel for a drink at the bar and a Michelin-starred dinner.
 
Swipe through for the full timeline, and share it with the person you’d want to spend the day with.

An evening of caviar and English w**e at The Sea, The Sea with Westwell W**es.
 
Three varieties of caviar, expertly paired with a selection of sparkling and still w**es, offered a fresh perspective on one of the classic luxury pairings. Guided by Orson’s engaging insights into the w**es, with Gus keeping the pours flowing and Alex hosting the evening, it was both an informative and captivating experience.
 
As Erin from our Client Experience team put it: “The Oscietra caviar was my favourite, thanks to its rich umami character, while the 2023 Chardonnay was the standout w**e of the evening. It was fascinating to discover such a variety of styles within English w**e, and I can’t wait to see what English w**e has to offer next.”
 
Thank you to and **es for a memorable evening.
