The PEI Liquor Control Commission is pleased to announce that four Nouveau wines will be available in stores in November 2015. Customers will find four Beaujolais Nouveau wines in stores starting this morning, Thursday, November 19th.
The production of Beaujolais Nouveau wines began as a tradition in France’s Beaujolais region when local wine makers developed a quick maturing wine to enjoy with workers while celebrating the completion of the grape harvest.
The annual release of Beaujolais Nouveau wines has become an international event with these products now accounting for more than one third of the worldwide wine sales from France’s Beaujolais region.
For a second year in a row, the PEILCC is pleased to be able to source a Beaujolais Nouveau produced from organic viticulture. With the growing interest of consumers looking to purchase organic wines, we are excited to offer this product.
The Beaujolais Nouveau wines to be released November 19th are:
• 00212Y Georges Duboeuf Beaujolais Nouveau - $18.99
• 00690Y Momessin Beaujolais Nouveau - $16.99
• 00133Y Drouhin Beaujolais-Villages Nouveau - $18.99
• 00780Y Beaujolais Nouveau Labouré-Roi Bio “Fabien Romany” (Organic) - $20.49
Due to the limited availability of these wines, not all listings will be available in each store. The PEILCC has ensured that each of its 18 retail outlets will carry at least one of these offerings and encourages interested customers to shop early to avoid disappointment.
