As Tim Atkin reminds us Beaujolais Nouveau is not happening any more (the fad still has staying power in Japan an China, he notes).

If the nouveau thing is now old, Beaujolais as a region is making a comeback on the scene because it offers more subtle wines, not wimpy but lighter as the Gamay grapes which are most commonly used in the reds deliver softer tannins.
The area counts no less than 10 Crus.
