Beaujolais Festival In Paris

On November 22, Parisians and the world celebrated the arrival of 2018’s Beaujolais by uncorking the season’s fresh and juicy crop. Restaurants, cafes, bars and brasseries all share in the celebration.  All the more reason to pop some fruity wine, given the recent horrible events — it is, in essence, an act of la resistance and a reaffirmation of France’s DNA — to celebrate life, enjoy good food and spirits of cheerful wine.

Some of our favorite places to join in the celebration include Willie’s Wine Bar, Gallopin, Le Select, Au Pied de Cochon and La Chaumette.

This season’s vintage can be purchased at a number of choice wine stores, including Nicolas, Les Caves Taillevent, Hediard, Ryst-Dupeyron, Savour Club, Lavinia and Au Verger de la Madeleine.

Beaujolais can be purchased at relatively low prices, for as little as 4-9 Euros at wine merchants and for 10-15 Euros in restaurants.
