{"product_id":"lou-dumont-beaujolais-nouveau-2026-075","title":"Lou Dumont Beaujolais Nouveau 2026 AOC 0,75l","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe 2026 Beaujolais Nouveau from Maison Lou Dumont is the red wine from the latest harvest, made entirely from Gamay, in a 0.75-liter bottle. By rule, Beaujolais Nouveau is released on the third Thursday of November: in 2026, that is November 19. It is available for preorder from STELT: order now, and from November 19 it will be shipped or available for pickup at the wine shop.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMaison Lou Dumont was founded in 2000 in Gevrey-Chambertin, where it still has its cellar. Its founders were Koji Nakada, a Japanese sommelier who left Tokyo in 1996 to study winemaking in Beaune, and Jae Hwa Park, a Korean from Busan who came to France to study restoration: the two met in Dijon. The name combines Lou, their goddaughter’s name, and Dumont, “of the mountain,” recalling the hills where they grew up.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe house buys grapes from trusted growers and has also worked its own vineyards since 2012. The rule is to use only vines that are at least thirty years old. In the cellar, Koji Nakada intervenes very little: pumping over and punching down are kept to a minimum to avoid over-extraction and let the wine retain its clarity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBeaujolais lies south of Burgundy, between Mâcon and Lyon, and is the home of Gamay. Nouveau is the first wine of the year: it is made in just a few weeks, usually using carbonic maceration, which brings the fruit to the fore and keeps the tannins soft.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt is a wine to drink young and fresh in the months following its release. Serve it slightly chilled at 12-14 °C. It is made for everyday meals and November celebrations. Once opened, the bottle should be finished within a day or two.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn Lou Dumont’s range, Beaujolais Nouveau is the youngest and simplest wine, alongside the village wines of the Côte de Nuits. It pairs with cured meats, fresh cheeses, poultry, and autumn dishes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn the STELT selection, this Beaujolais Nouveau is the wine for celebrating the arrival of the new vintage.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Lou Dumont","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":60190271209797,"sku":"LOUDUM-BEANOV-BOU-26-075","price":22.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1000\/7376\/7237\/files\/Stelt_mistery_new.png?v=1786909651","url":"https:\/\/steltwines.com\/en\/products\/lou-dumont-beaujolais-nouveau-2026-075","provider":"STELT - Vini Pregiati \u0026 Champagne","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
