Georges Duboeuf Beaujolais Nouveau Plans Series Of U.S. Opening Parties
Every year, bottles of Georges Duboeuf Beaujolais Nouveau are delivered to the U.S. in dramatic style. According to French law, Beaujolais Nouveau is released at one minute past midnight on the third Thursday of November. In a brilliant marketing move, the event has turned into a splashy celebration. The wine is made from Gamay grapes and bottled just six weeks after harvest.This year the first bottles of Georges Duboeuf 2010 Beaujolais Nouveau in the U.S. will be delivered into the hands of Actress Molly Sims and Franck Duboeuf for the official uncorking on November 18 at New York City's new District 36 club. The wine's dramatic arrival is part of Duboeuf's nationwide Nouveau Cirque celebration, featuring theme parties with jugglers, acrobats and other artistic performances.
"This year we celebrate Nouveau Cirque parties in a contemporary circus spirit to capture the excitement of Nouveau and the limitless possibilities for its enjoyment," said Franck Duboeuf, co-proprietor of Les Vins Georges Duboeuf.
