Beaujolais Nouveau 2009

Beaujolais Villages Nouveau 2009

I wasn’t intending to rush out and buy a bottle of Beaujolais Nouveau this year, I was just going to buy it when the opportunity arose, but on the 19th the boss of my company gave everyone 2 bottles as a gift.
Very nice!

This was one of them and a pretty good Beaujolais Nouveau it was too. (Review is here)
Fresh, fruity and lively.

Not sure how much it costs as obviously it was a gift, but apparently, in Japan at least, they are cheaper (about 10%) than last year, with most going for between ￥2000-2500 ($20-$25).

One company has actually decided to sell Beaujolais Nouveau in recyclable plastic bottles, reducing the cost even more. I think these go for about ￥800 ($8).
Would like to try one of those just to see what wine from a PET (plastic) bottle tastes like.

I have one more bottle to try which I’m sure I’ll be opening in the next week or so.
