Tasting Notes

Jean-Paul et Charly Thévenet Morgon Tradition 2023

"Cherry, ripe raspberry, and a spicy and distinctly smoky sort of mescal thing here, which I like, along with some dried rose. It’s medium-bodied, quite firm and grainy in tannin, something of a roast red capsicum character in with cherry pip and blueberries, bright and kind of ‘minerally’ acidity, with a dry finish of good length. albeit a little dusty and peppery. I do like the energy here. It’s one of those wines where it’s kind of hard to get your head around, though I do like it. Almost like a Rhône Valley wine, it seems to me." 92 Points, Gary Walsh, The Wine Front

Growing up as the son of Beaujolais’ famous Jean-Paul Thévenet, a member of the notorious “Gang of Four”, Charly learnt the trade at a very young age. Gaining extensive experience helping his father, and working in Marcel Lapierre’s winery, he owns a parcel of eighty-year-old vines in Régnié. He prefers whole-bunch ferments of ripe, heavily sorted fruit at a low temperatures, with no filtration. Charly farms his 3ha vineyard biodynamically, and produces less than 600 cases. Read More
