\par }{\b\f1\fs22 David:}{\f1\fs22   What exactly is Beaujolais?
\par 
\par }{\b\f1\fs22 
\par Mme Grossot:}{\f1\fs22   Beaujolais is a red wine  which comes from the Gamay grape.  These are wines that you leave to ferment for quite a short time to give them a very fruity, perfumed taste.
\par 
\par }{\b\f1\fs22 
\par David:  }{\f1\fs22 But can a young wine be a good wine?
\par 
\par 
\par }{\b\f1\fs22 Mme Grossot:}{\f1\fs22   Of course!  It's not a wine to keep, but it's very good to drink with a snack or a simple meal with friends.  You can open a bottle of Beaujolais at any time.  With an expensive wine, you'd hesitate a lot more.
\par 
\par }{\b\f1\fs22 
\par David:}{\f1\fs22   I'm starting to feel thirsty.
\par 
\par }{\b\f1\fs22 
\par Mme Grossot:  }{\f1\fs22 There you are, Fleurie\'82 - you're going to find out what's in it - I hope!
\par 
\par }{\b\f1\fs22 
\par David:  }{\f1\fs22 A kind of test.  It's red fruits?  I'll smell it again.  I'll taste it.  Blackcurrant.
\par 
\par 
\par }{\b\f1\fs22 Mme Grossot:}{\f1\fs22     Well done!  Very good!
\par 
\par }{\b\f1\fs22 
\par Mme Grossot:}{\f1\fs22     Now the fun part, it's le Paradis.
\par 
\par }{\b\f1\fs22 
\par David:  }{\f1\fs22 Why is it called le Paradis?
\par 
\par }{\b\f1\fs22 
\par Mme Grossot:}{\f1\fs22    Because it takes you to Paradise!  It's a wine from a week-old harvest.  It was pressed this morning
\par 
\par }{\b\f1\fs22 
\par David:  }{\f1\fs22 It's grape juice, almost
\par 
\par }{\b\f1\fs22

September is harvest time and the busiest time of year for local wine producers. In search of hands-on experience, David signed up for some grape-picking at the Domaine des Maisons Neuves.

\par David:}{\f1\fs22   How do I do that?
\par }\pard \widctlpar\adjustright {\f1\fs22 
\par }{\b\f1\fs22 
\par M. Merle:}{\f1\fs22   Using a bucket and a pruning knife.  That's the tool you use to cut the bunches of grapes.  You put it on your little finger and hold it like this.  But be careful not to cut yourself, because it cuts like a razor.
\par 
\par }{\b\f1\fs22 
\par David:}{\f1\fs22   I'll try it.  Like this - I cut the stem and catch the grapes.  Is it difficult?
\par 
\par }{\b\f1\fs22 
\par M. Merle:}{\f1\fs22   Yes, it's difficult.  It's hard because you have to work fast to keep up with the team, and the grapes, the bunches, are low down and as you're tall, your back ... oh dear!
\par 
\par }{\b\f1\fs22 
\par David:}{\f1\fs22   So it's hard labour
