Suntory Wine International Limited began accepting orders on July 14th for 2009 Georges Duboeuf Beaujolais Nouveau.

Beaujolais nouveau is the current year's vintage from Beaujolais, France. It is enjoyed worldwide as a fresh wine offering a taste of the recent harvest. In particular, many wine lovers look forward to the nouveau of France's renowned "King of Beaujolais," producer Georges Duboeuf. These wines are bursting with delightful fruit aromas.

Suntory Wine International will offer the perennial favorite, Georges Duboeuf Beaujolais Nouveau, as well as four other varieties.

In anticipation of the official nouveau release date (the third Thursday in November), celebrity spokespeople will help publicize nouveau in Japan, where Suntory promotions will also include events with suggestions of complementary foods.
