Jean-Paul Thevenet is perhaps the most elusive member of Kermit Lynch's legendary "Gang of Four," the cru Beaujolais growers who proved Gamay could age like serious Burgundy. Farming organically and biodynamically on old vines in Morgon, he harvests as late as possible and ferments with long, slow macerations, then ages in old Burgundy barrels. This 2014 Vieilles Vignes comes from a classic, fresh Beaujolais vintage and has now had a decade to mellow, so the fruit has softened into something earthier and more savory. Drinking beautifully right now; no reason to wait. Production has always been tiny, so back vintages like this don't come around often.

"Dark magenta. A heady, impressively complex bouquet evokes fresh red and dark berries, potpourri and spicecake, and a smoky mineral element adds vivacity. Stains the palate with sappy black raspberry, cherry and violet pastille flavors and picks up an exotic blood orange nuance with air, which adds a refreshingly bitter edge. Sweeter on the incisive finish, which hangs on with outstanding fruit-driven tenacity." —Josh Raynolds

More about Jean-Paul Thevenet

Third-generation Beaujolais producer and a founding member of Kermit Lynch's 'Gang of Four,' Jean-Paul Thévenet sparked the natural-wine movement in Morgon during the 1980s. His son Charly joined him in 2008 to convert the five-hectare domain to organic and biodynamic farming. Together, they make Morgon and other Crus that embody everything Beaujolais natural wine should be.

Flatiron's Take

From the Importer

What has to say about this wine:

Tasting Notes & Food Pairings

Perfect Pairings

Roast chicken, coq au vin, charcuterie boards, mushroom risotto, or a simple steak frites.

Tasting Profile

A mature cru Beaujolais. The bright Gamay fruit of youth has settled into earthier, savory notes of dried cherry, forest floor and spice. Medium-bodied with soft, resolved tannins and the lively acidity that keeps it food-friendly.
