Description:
Château Élan’s Nouveau is a tribute to the harvest season, and is typically released in early November of each year with great fanfare. Nouveaux have pronounced fresh aromas such as roses, blackberry and cherry. The wine is made by the traditional "carbonic Maceration" method, hand-picked grapes are not crushed or pressed, but allowed to ferment as whole clusters. This type of fermentation produces pleasantly aromatic yet light-style wines. Enjoy this light-body red wine slightly chilled with poultry or pasta. Unlike traditional red wine, Noveau is best consumed young and is not intended for aging.
