From dynamic father-son duo Jean-Paul and Charly Thevenet, this cru Beaujolais is bursting with juicy red fruits and blackberry compote. At first what appears to be easy drinking rounds out with spices, herbs and a surprising complexity that perfectly complements a wine so light on its feet.
Thévenet's wines come from about 4 hectares divided among two parcels of old very low yielding vines, one 45 yrs old and the other 110 yrs, farmed according to biodynamic methodology. The fruit is harvested late and sorted rigorously to maximize ripeness and expression of the regions granitic soils, essential for the production of the best Beaujolais. Whole cluster fermentations take place for about 3 weeks in neutral cement cuves and aging in old Burgundian barrels (hand-me-downs from DRC) for up to 8 months.
"It's not easy to raise the bar when your father revolutionized winemaking in a given region, but that is precisely what Charly Thévenet has accomplished with this 2019 Morgon. Building upon the creed of sustainable farming and natural winemaking that brought the "Gang of Four" to the limelight, Charly has brought his own touch, resulting in cru Beaujolais that presents hedonistic pleasure and serious pedigree: chilling the grapes down before fermentation preserves vibrant fruit and freshness, while his decision to forgo punch-downs and pump-overs yields a silky-fine grain without sacrificing underlying structure. Dip your nose into this Morgon for a kaleidoscope of sublime aromas-the spice box perfume could well come from Vosne-Romanée, but no, this is pure Gamay grown in granite, as swallowable as we could ever dream of."
