2018 Jean-Paul Thevenet - Morgon, Vieilles Vignes (3L)
Price: $250.00
Jean-Paul Thevenet is not only the third generation to work his families farm in Morgon but also a member of Kermit Lynch’s gang of four. He has spent the last 40 years tailoring his work in the vineyard and the winery to accomplish the task of making the very best Morgon he can. He makes only one wine, in an average year producing 2000 cases from 5 hectares of vines that are 45 to 110 years old. Like the other members of the gang, he works naturally in the vineyard employing biodynamic methods and utilizes only native yeast in the winery. His 2018 Morgon is one of the best wines of the vintage with an explosive nose redolent of spiced red berry fruit, violets, and herbs. The palate is lifted and driven more by acidity and minerality than tannin with a long finish. In time this is sure to unfurl into a regal bottle of Beaujolais.
