Beaujolais Nouveau has become a synonym for celebration across the world, as people gather to taste the first wine of the new season.

This might just seem like clever marketing - and it is, up to a point - but Antoine Delafarge, wine buyer for Nicolas, the French specialist wine merchants, says Beaujolais Nouveau deserves a bit of fuss.
