Jean-Paul Thevenet
Morgon Gamay
Nose is fresh and bright, with tart(-ish) red berry fruit and clean stony minerals. I’m kind of surprised that a wine from a historically hot growing season is so fresh tasting. Not any great depth; it has sort of a horizontal feel, but very nice.

Apr 17th, 2024In general, I’m just not into this region/varietal, and tonight was no exception… Nougatine, NYC.

Jan 13th, 2024$33 or so. Allright but not great like all the other Beauj I have had around that price point. Maybe paying $40 really is worth it as this producers vielles morgon is awesome and quite feminine.
Red cherry fruit. Maybe sour cherry not heavy. A pretty lightness with it not as concentrated as some other Beauj but that’s ok. Liking this more with more air. There’s this really interesting alsmot graphite note on the finish that’s pretty cool. Perhaps also a bit of earthy ness on the finish. Just a bit. Thevenet continues to make excellent wine and we are going to have to check more of it out. But at this price is it worth it to go up to the vielle vignes? Probably but this isn’t bad. This does way best out the le boujolais from lapierre for me though. There is more going on. Will have to revisit
