Until the first bottle is opened
The youngest wine in the world. For one night only.
Picked in September, in the bottle by October, drunk the moment it's legal. At one minute past midnight on the third Thursday of November the first wine of the harvest lands in London. We're marking the day properly: happy hour first, then a four-course dinner with bottomless Nouveau across two sittings.

The explainer
So what is Beaujolais Nouveau?
A whole wine region racing to get its harvest into a glass before winter. Zero cellaring, zero ceremony, one date in the diary. Here's the entire thing in four bits.
One grape
Gamay, from the granite hills north of Lyon. Light, red-fruited, built for drinking rather than waiting.
Six weeks flat
Harvest to bottle in about six weeks. Whole bunches, carbonic ferment, no oak, no filtering, no faff.
One date, worldwide
Nobody may sell a drop before 00:01 on the third Thursday of November. Same minute in Lyon, London and Tokyo.
Serve it cold
Fridge cold, big glasses, something roasted on the table. Nobody has ever improved this wine by discussing it.
Our bottle
Top Cuvée Nouveau 2026
We've been going back to the same growers in Beaujolais for years, so this year we asked for our own cuvée: old-vine Gamay, hand-picked, carbonic, nothing added and nothing taken out. It was in a tank in Villié-Morgon in September and it will be in your fridge in November.

Said about us
Booked the late sitting on a whim and ended up cheering at a wine that was eight minutes old. Best Wednesday of the year.
Ordered a case for a Thursday night in and drank it cold out of tumblers. Nobody asked what region it was from.
Two cases gone in a night and guests still asking for it in December. Easiest list addition of the year.
