Around 7 a.m., a cargo plane carrying Beaujolais Nouveau landed at the airport, where customs officers conducted inspections before the bottles were cleared for distribution.
Beaujolais Nouveau is a freshly produced wine made from grapes harvested that same year in the Beaujolais region of Burgundy, France.
According to importer Suntory, this year’s production was cut to roughly half of last year’s due to the severe summer heat, but the result is a wine with a rich, concentrated aroma and sweet, full-bodied flavor—said to be one of the finest in recent years. Despite rising production costs, the company announced that prices will remain unchanged.
The official sale of Beaujolais Nouveau will begin on November 20th.
