The Beaujolais Harvest
At SmoothRed we have just been told that 50,000 pickers have begun last week the arduous task of harvesting the Gamay grapes which go towards making the 12 appellations of the Beaujolais region.
Tony from SmoothRed says it’s a fantastic region to visit, why not try one of the many wine tours in France that we offer and discover Beaujolais next month! Located only a short distance from Lyon Airport, a wine tour in Beaujolais is the perfect last minute wine tour in France.
The 2012 harvest is due to be small similar to the 2003 but is expected to be high in quality. Why not pick up the phone and speak to one of our sales team at SmoothRed and organise a wine tour to this part of France with its beautiful undulating countryside and see at first hand the 2012 Beaujolais wines, Beaujolais Nouveau is always launched the third Thursday of November so this year will be the 15th a great time to visit and make a SmoothRed wine weekend.
