MORGON TRADITION 'LE CLACHET' 2015
JEAN-PAUL THÉVENET
This Beaujolais from the village of Morgon shows how amazing Gamay can be in the hands of a great producer.
- Ripe, red berry fruit with spicy notes and great minerality.
- Thévenet's low-yielding vines are 70 years old on average; all farming is biodynamic.
- Wines are bottled unfined, unfiltered and with no additions of SO2.
- Drink up to 5+ years after the vintage.
- A truly great Beaujolais deserves charcuterie, a couple of cornichons and a good friend to share it all with.
