Jean-Paul Thevenet is perhaps the most elusive member of Kermit Lynch's legendary Beaujolais "Gang of Four," and this old-vine Morgon is one of the region's quiet superstars. Farming organically and biodynamically, he harvests late for ripeness, ferments long and slow with traditional punch-downs, and ages in old Burgundy barrel. This is the 2014 in magnum, a back-vintage bottle from a private cellar, and the large format means it has aged slowly and gracefully. It is mature now, savory and earthy where it once was fruit-forward, and the magnum makes it a natural for a table full of people. Production is tiny and these are increasingly hard to find.

"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 leg of lamb, duck, beef bourguignon, charcuterie boards, or aged hard cheeses for a crowd.

Tasting Profile

Mature, savory Morgon with earthy depth in place of fresh fruit. Medium-bodied and resolved; the magnum keeps it lively and ready to pour.
