And 2024 is no exception to the rule, since we have been spoiled by hail again ! Yes, you read that right, 9 hailstorms in 12 years, a score worthy of an apocalyptic film. But rest assured, even if Météo-France seems to want to rewrite history, this vintage evokes a beautiful nostalgia for my first years of winemaking, with the white hair that is added to my experience (and no, it is not stress, it is wisdom!). In short, all this to say that I am delighted to offer you a vintage that will take you on a journey through time... without a DeLorean, but almost !\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e2023, a year with cooler slower ripening gave beautiful fruit.

Charly is also making wines under his own label from the neighbouring Grand Cru Régnié. Jean-Paul Thévenet is certainly a name in everyone's ear ever since Kermit Lynch dubbed him, together with Marcel Lapierre, Guy Breton and Jean Foillard, as Beaujolais' famous \"Gang of Four\" in the '80s. The essence of their philosophy: take a step back, appreciate and cultivate old vines, apply organic farming practices, avoid the use of sulphur, let natural ferments do their magic and help the terroir express itself through minimal intervention. Following these principals, each of them has proven that Beaujolais is more than just 'Nouveau' and can indeed produce meaningful, complex and wonderful wines. - Fesq, Importer. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Jean-Paul Et Charly Thévenet","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47279966093565,"sku":"26336","price":71.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0026\/6754\/4640\/files\/Winona-Wine-Jean-Paul-Et-Charly-Thevenet-2024-Morgon-Tradition-Anthony-Thevenet-Wine.png?v=1778550016"},{"product_id":"yann-bertrand-2024-iron","title":"Yann Bertrand - 2024 Iron","description":"\u003cp\u003eYann Bertrand’s philosophy is simple; attain the most beautiful balance possible for the soil, as a soil with good equilibrium will produce a grape that represents the terroir where it is grown. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLes Bertrand is located in a special part of Beaujolais called ‘Grand-pré’.
