I have never understood the attraction to Beaujolais nouveau. It is a young
fruity wine. While it is bound to vary from year to year I don't know how it
could be an indication of a great vintage. It is a young wine, crafted to be
consumed immediately. It does not keep well, and is definitely nor made to be
cellared and aged. Wines that are made to be aged use a much different
process.
