S6E2 Beaujolais Nouveau - a history of celebration!
Episode 2
Tuesday, 3 February, 2026
Send us a textHosts Pam, James and German are joined by wine expert Katie Finn, who explains the origins of Beaujolais Nouveau as a post-harvest celebration among French winemakers. The discussion covers how the wine is made using carbonic maceration—fermenting whole grapes in an oxygen-free environment—which results in a light, fruity, low-tannin wine meant to be drunk immediately rather than aged.Katie dives deeper into why Beaujolais Nouveau tastes the way it does, describing its fresh, juicy profile, subtle fizz-like texture, and high acidity, which makes it especially food-friendly.The episode concludes with encouragement for listeners to keep an open mind, try different producers, serve the wine slightly chilled, and see Beaujolais Nouveau as a joyful, communal celebration of wine, harvest, and shared experience.Cheers!
