From the first of the year's harvest
The third Thursday of November is 'Beaujolais Nouveau Day', when the first wine of the year’s harvest is officially released for sale. Critics dismiss the wine – fermented for only a few weeks - as too immature, but for others its light fruitiness offers an escape from the old adage "red with meat, white with fish…".
