Morgans Special Event
Beaujolais Nouveau
Thursday 21st November 2013

Lunch or Dinner
3 - Courses - TBA (Limited Availability)

The region of Beaujolais is 34 miles long and only 7 – 9 miles wide. There are 4,000 grape growers who make their living from this picturesque area just north of France’s third largest city Lyon.

At one past midnight on the third Thursday of each November, from little villages and towns like Romanèche-Thorins, over a million cases of Beaujolais Nouveau begin their journey through a sleeping France to Paris for immediate shipment to all parts of the world.

Le Beaujolais Nouveau est arrivé! "The New Beaujolais has arrived!" One of the most frivolous and animated rituals in the wine world has begun and by the time it is over approximately 65 million bottles will be distributed and drunk by wine lovers around the world.

Many of those bottles will be destined for Swansea and Morgans will rise early to take delivery of their own much Beaujolais Nouveau in anticipation of the forthcoming days celebrations. Beaujolais Nouveau is very light, with no tannins, very easy to drink as far as food is concern. ‘Cheese’ is the ultimate accompaniment.

So bon appetite.
