History of Beaujolais Nouveau (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09) |
 | | Beaujolais became Lyons' third river, through an allusion to its popularity and the fact that the wines reached the "Capital of the Gauls" by river. |
 | | At the end of the 60s, the trade also ensured Beaujolais Nouveau's penetration abroad, thanks to the long tradition of skilled exporters among the Burgundy wine-growers, who supplemented their range with this new, authentic product. |
 | | Beaujolais Nouveau became even more international during the 80s, with its emergence on the Australian market in 1982, then in Japan and Italy in 1985. |
