Jean Paul - Charly Thevenet
Domaine Jean-Paul et Charly Thévenet is a Beaujolais wine estate located in Villié-Morgon in the northern part of the region, renowned as a key player in the natural wine revival within the Morgon cru. Founded by Jean-Paul Thévenet, one of the pioneers of the natural wine movement since the 1980s, the estate is now managed with his son Charly, who brings new energy while upholding the original philosophy.
The estate primarily cultivates Gamay on granitic soils typical of Morgon, often from old vines, and practices organic or biodynamic viticulture with limited cellar interventions. Fermentations are natural, often involving carbonic maceration, and the wines are neither fined nor filtered, with minimal sulfite addition if necessary.
The estate's cuvées, particularly their Morgon "Vieilles Vignes" or "Tradition," are renowned for their pure expression.
