95 Points - James Suckling!

94 Points - Gary Walsh!

Region: France, Beaujolais, Morgon

Variety:  Gamay

95 Points!
"An ethereally crafted, old-vine Morgon that has a very light, perfumed layer of red flowers and strawberries on the nose and a smooth, succulent and juicy palate. Lacy, fine tannins. Fresh and suave."
- James Suckling
94 Points!
"The 2017 Morgon Vieilles Vignes is superb, wafting from the glass with notes of red cherries, cassis, candied peel and raw cocoa. On the palate, the wine is medium to full-bodied, supple and velvety, with juicy acids, a deep core of fruit and refined tannins. Thévenet routinely produces one of the most elegant, classy expressions of Morgon, and the 2017 vintage is no exception. In ideal conditions, this will develop in bottle for a decade or more."
- Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

94 Points!

One of the original ‘Gang of Four’ Beaujolias producers (Guy Breton, Jean Foillard and Marcel Lapierre being the other three). Candied cherry, raspberry, damp earth, spice and roses. Ripe fruit with a slightly sharp edge, stony and chalky, volume of flavour and fleshy, yet stylish and savoury. Finish is layered with spice and flowers. My word, such personality and ease of drinking here, that it’s hard to say no to another glass. Drink: 2019-2028+.
