The French, of course, drink Borrowola Nuoovo, but preference gives more interesting wines. But the main importer of this wine is Japan, which buys about 8 million bottles per year. Next, the list is Americans, they buy three times smaller. It is also interesting that because of the time difference it turns out that Japan is the first and whips off the bottles with young wine, ahead of traditional spout in Borrowla.

White wine Borrowola is distinguished by fresh fruit-floral aroma, and in taste you can catch a tone of a toasted toxte with butter.

Bezolai Nouveau - poor-quality wine from wine materials, unsuitable for use

The young wine and the truth cannot boast of excellent quality and deep taste. And it does not pretend at all. But the conversations about the fact that this wine do not according to the rules or from the wine materials are groundless. Another thing is that Beaujolais Nouveau has a specific vinification process with carbon dioxide maceration. Grapes are placed in the fermentation Chan and closed tightly with a lid. Under the weight of the clouds, the lower berries begin to burst, causing fermentation.

Meanwhile, carbon dioxide is distinguished, which rises upstairs and causes fermentation of the upper layers of grapes. After that, grapes are pressed, further fermentation usually lasts about a month, after which the wine is bottled.
