As this week was the third Thursday when Beaujolais Noveau was released I did not really feel like to have that young wine so I rather bought village AOC wine. Although it should be considered more serious than Noveau brother this bottle still is pretty basic wine. Svatomartinske is usually slightly better and cost half price:-).
