For those who are unfamiliar with the background of the wine - Beaujolais Nouveau is made from the Gamay noir à Jus blanc grape, better known simply as Gamay. The grapes come from the southern part of the Beaujolais AOC, grown in "stony, schistous soils"

By law, all grapes in the region must be harvested by hand. Then the wine is made using a whole berry anaerobic fermentation, which emphasizes fruit flavors without extracting bitter tannins from the grape skins. The resulting wine is fresh, fruity, and very low in tannins. The wine is marketed to be drunk in November, only a few months after the grapes were on the vines – logistics to ship so much wine quickly are a significant challenge. Means of transport have included elephant, Concorde, balloon, rickshaw, helicopter, private jet, military jet, and Boeing 747.
