Tasting Notes

Charly Thévenet is the son of famous Morgon producer Jean-Paul Thévenet and grew up working alongside his father and Marcel Lapierre. Charly, though only in his twenties, purchased a parcel of eighty-year-old vines in Régnié, the newest of Beaujolais' 10 crus. Régnié is situated on a plateau of seabed stone in the foothills of the Côte du Py, it gives a fresh wine with solid acidity and belongs in the fuller-bodied camp along with Morgon and Moulin-a-Vent.

As one of the next generation of the natural wine movement, Charly seems to have inherited his father's savoir faire. He uses biodynamic farming techniques in the vineyard, never adding synthetic herbicides, pesticides, or fungicides to the vines. He harvests late, with an aggressive sorting of the grapes, adds minimal doses of sulfur dioxide. Add a dose of that Thévenet talent, and you have a recipe for excellent wine!
