Description

Chénas Vieilles Vignes 2017 Domaine Anthony Thevenet

Nestled in the enchanting cru of Chénas, the Chénas Vieilles Vignes of Domaine Anthony Thevenet is an authentic expression of the potential of this little Beaujolais pearl. Here, in the north of the region, ancient Gamay vines feed on pink granite and sand soils, giving the wine a deep complexity and structure.

Chénas, the smallest of the ten crus of Beaujolais, is known for its history linked to the French oaks that once covered this land, and today it is renowned for its elegance and depth. Anthony's gently sloping parcel is composed of pink granite and sand soils, helping to create aromatic wines with a touch of pink, intensity and depth.

With 100% Gamay grapes sourced from fifty-year-old vines, hand harvesting plays an essential role in preserving the integrity of this cuvée. The fermentation process takes place with the whole bunch carbonic maceration technique for 20 days, without the addition of sulphites or external yeasts. Complete malolactic fermentation is followed by 7 months of aging in ancient oak barrels, without clarification or filtration.

The result is a wine that opens with intense aromas of blueberries and violets, which then give way to a symphony of red fruits, white pepper and delicate notes of sage on the palate. The depth and persistence of taste are testimony to the quality that this cru can offer. Surprisingly, Anthony Thevenet suggests that this wine could easily be mistaken for a Burgundy Pinot Noir in a blind tasting, and we agree.

DOMAINE ANTHONY THEVENET

Located in the beating heart of Beaujolais, Domaine Anthony Thevenet is the embodiment of a unique vision in the world of wine. Anthony Thevenet, shaped by training under natural winemaking icons such as Georges Descombes and Jean Foillard, has created an interpretation of Beaujolais that blends the glorious past with contemporary innovation.

With a predilection for powerful yet elegant wines, Thevenet offers a range from wines from the "Vieilles Vignes", aged in large barrels, to those from the young vines, labeled simply "Morgon" and "Chénas". Organic farming is at the heart of his philosophy, with scrupulous attention to the terroir and artisanal management of the vineyards.

The bottles of Domaine Anthony Thevenet are the result of a whole bunch fermentation, with indigenous yeasts, followed by an "infusion" fermentation which gives structure and depth to the wines. No clarification or filtration intervenes to alter their essence.

With family heritage at the heart of its commitment, Thevenet has converted much of the family's land to organic farming and expanded its range of wines. The Morgon, in particular the famous Côte du Py, is the beating heart of his work, with unique metamorphic shale soils that give his wines extraordinary minerality and structure.
