Beaujolais Nouveau – France’s Favourite Wine Day

Every November, as the clock strikes midnight, France pops its corks to celebrate Beaujolais Nouveau Day – the arrival of the year’s first wine.

Fresh, fruity, and full of life, it’s a symbol of new beginnings (and a great excuse for a party).

This year, Cote is bringing the tradition to Chester for one day only – Thursday 20 November.

Expect glasses raised, brasserie buzz, and that unmistakable first pour of Beaujolais Nouveau 2025.

It’s one of our favourite French traditions, and it’s more popular than ever.
