Jean-Paul Thevenet is perhaps the most elusive member of Kermit Lynch's legendary Beaujolais "Gang of Four," and his old-vine Morgon is a quiet superstar. Farming organically and biodynamically, he harvests as late as possible for ripeness, then ferments long and slow with old-school punch-downs and aging in old Burgundy barrel. This is the 2013, now a back-vintage bottle from a private cellar with real maturity on it. Expect a Morgon that has shed its youthful fruit for something more savory and earthy, drinking beautifully right now. Production is tiny and these bottles are increasingly rare.

Antonio Galloni

"Vivid ruby. Intensely perfumed cherry and black raspberry aromas are complemented by suggestions of anise, musky earth and violet pastille. Chewy, concentrated red and dark berry and spicecake flavors show a refreshingly bitter quality and a hint of smoky minerality. Finishes extremely long and spicy, with subtle grip, sneaky tannins and an echo of candied flowers." —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.

A mature Morgon that has traded primary fruit for earthy, savory depth. Medium-bodied, gently structured, fully resolved and ready to drink.
