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 La Roche Pile 2022

Grape Varietals & Region: 100% Gamay from Beaujolais, France

Taste Profile: La Roche Pilée dazzles in the glass, a deep garnet red. Its striking gemlike appearance echoes in the aromatics—think blueberry or blackberry preserves. Lush and light at the same time, with a balance of soft minerality referenced in the name (which means crushed rock). This is classy Morgon taken to playful and whimsical heights.

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
