Description

Jean-Paul Thevenet was one of the “Gang of Four” who pioneered organic and natural winemaking in Beaujolais.  Charly, Jean-Paul’s son, is just as fervent about organic and biodynamic practices.

If you think you know Beaujolais, think again.  This organic old vine Morgon will make you rethink what the Gamay grape is capable of.  Made from 2 parcels of old vines, 1 of over 45 years of age and the other over 110 years old (that’s right, these vines were there before World War 1), this Morgon isn’t your typical Beaujolais, meant to be drunk young.  Bursting with complex red and black fruit and earthy mineral, you’ll find gamey, savoury notes creeping in as it ages.
