THE FINEST, MOST PRESTIGIOUS WINE FROM THEVENET - CRAFTED FROM THE OLDEST VINES

 

"Notes of raspberry, black currant and a hint of spice. Great balance of acidity and a touch of wood. The early summary is that Beaujolaisâ€?are rich, primary and highly drinkable young. It was another warm year in the region, mostly trouble free and producing excellent wines across the board. For Jean-Paul and his son Charly, these are ideal conditions for their old-vine, 5ha block in Morgon. The Vieilles Vignes cuvee is as a powerful and structured as ever, aged 8-10 months in Burgundian Barrels, with the Tradition offering a slightly more approachable, youthful expression." - JP Thevenet

"Jean-Paul Thévenet 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. The essence of their philosophy: take a step back, appreciate and cultivate old vines, apply organic farming practices, avoid the use of sulphur, let natural ferments do their magic and help the terroir expressing itself through minimal intervention. Following these principals, each of them has ever since proven that Beaujolais is more than just 'Nouveau' and can indeed produce meaningful, complex and wonderful wines." - Cottenham
