Beaujolais Menu
Beaujolais Nouveau (or Beaujolais Primeur, as some call it) is a relatively recent phenomenon, dating from the early 1950s.
Jeudi, 19 Novembre 2009 7.30pm for 8pm
It sort of evolved from the harvest festival and the traditional end-of-harvest party, as a cross between a wine from the new vintage, which everyone could enjoy as soon as possible. Beaujolais Nouveau is today probably the first wine of the new vintage anywhere in the northern hemisphere, and is released on general sale on the third Thursday each November.
A tradition here at The Carre Arms Hotel is to celebrate it's arrival with a typically French menu.
