But First a Little Bit of History...
As far back as the 1800s, Beaujolais growers would gather to celebrate the end of the harvest by toasting the vintage with some of the young wine produced that year! (this is part of the French tradition of "Vin de Primeur" or "early wines", released in the same year as harvest, which 55 appellations in France are allowed to produce).
During this time, Lyonnais barkeepers and restaurateurs had been buying barrels of this new Beaujolais wine, pressed in September and ready to serve in November. The Beaujolais AOC Rules were established in 1937, and Changed a frew time until in 1985, the Institut National de Appellations d'origine (INAO) established the third Thursday of November as a uniform release date for wine..
