Haven't heard about it; have you???

JUST found this: Gamay volumes are down for the second year in a row, but quality shines. Wine Spectator reviews 9 tasty Nouveaus

https://www.winespectator.com/articles/2022-beaujolais-nouveau-a-banner-vintage

Sounds GOOD! Gotta get daughter and son in law to pick some up, when they return home:

First, the good news: France’s Beaujolais region experienced an outstanding vintage, which means the 2022 Nouveau—available as always on the third Thursday of November, aka Beaujolais Nouveau Day—are some of the best-tasting ever. In Wine Spectator’s blind-tasting, the wines showed especially juicy, fresh and aromatic, with greater density than is typical for these usually light-bodied reds.

“Thanks to the quality of the crop, I believe this is the best Nouveau we’ve ever made,” says Bruno Bererd who runs Domaine de la Madone with his brother, Olivier. “I like the balance: fine tannins, juicy as a Gamay should be, and complex aromas of cherry, violet and peony.” . .

“It is a great, great vintage. I compare it to 2018,” says Maison Duboeuf’s Franck Duboeuf. “We just don’t have enough wine.” He estimates that volumes for the entire Duboeuf line—from the Nouveau to the village and cru wines at the top—are down by more than one-third for the second consecutive year.'

but I didn't get invited this year so I didn't get any. If it's especially good this year maybe I'll get a bottle for myself.

Hope to catch some in a few days, but read the article/review: SMALL harvest, tho GREAT wine, so may have to pay more.
