Anthony Thévenet Morgon Vieilles Vignes 2019

Alongside the likes of Justin Dutraive, Pierre Cotton, Yann Bertrand, Jules Metras and Keke Descombes; Anthony Thévenet forms part of the young new guard of vigneron, defending the purity of Cru Beaujolais.

Vine age; 80 – 153 years old
34 hl/ha

Handpicked as bunches from his late grandfather’s old vines from an elevation of 250m on sandy soils with schist and blue granite. Gravity fed to concrete vats for a carbonic maceration of 20 days, here it completes full natural malolactic fermentation.

The resulting wine is matured in old 225L Hogsheads for 7 months before being sent to bottle without fining, filtration and finished with less that 10mg/l of SO2.
