Jean-Paul & Charly Thévenet

Jean-Paul Thevenet is certainly a name in everyone’s ear ever since Kermit Lynch dubbed him, together with Marcel Lapierre, Guy Breton and Jean Foillard, as Beaujolais famous “Gang of Four” in the ‘80s. Eldest son Charly has followed in his footsteps

Description

Jean Paul et Charly Thevenet Morgon Tradition 2022

Grape Varietals & Region: 100% Gamay from Beaujolais. In contrast to the family's other Morgon bottling, this label is made from younger vines, approximately 50-60 years old, planted in Douby & Les Charmes on sandy granite soils

Taste Profile: It features less concentration that other Morgons, due to the use of concrete tanks. Aromas of sour cherry, violets, and sweet spices that define Gamay grown within this cru. It feels weightless on the palate, grounded only by a tingly impression of minerals

Winemaking Process: The wine is made biodynamically with ageing entirely in concrete tanks

Bright & Easy Reds

Easy drinking red wines with bright fruit aromas and low tannins. The wines are often released without much aging in tank, oak barrels or bottle, and are meant to be drunk early

These wines typically can be nejoyed without food, and are usually served cooler. They can be light bodied wines like Beaujolais, or light extraction styles that do not emphasize tannin & color extraction
