How Long Does Beaujolais Nouveau Keep

Enjoy your glass of Beaujolais Nouveau’s fruit flavors within six months or a year of its bottling. If you’re lucky, you can even store a good and rare vintage for over 2 to 3 years.

Does Beaujolais Nouveau need to be refrigerated?

To get the best flavor, serve Beaujolais nouveau slightly chilled. Serve it at about 55 degrees Fahrenheit in red wine glasses. To get it to that temperature, place it in the fridge for 10 to 15 minutes before serving.

Can you cellar Beaujolais Nouveau?

In many cases, they lack the flavour and tannin structure to cellar well. I’d say the due-date consensus is about six months to a year (I would err on the side of six months). After that the wine quickly starts to lose its youthful charm, like Justin Bieber after, oh, say, his 17th birthday.
