Chenas, Beaujolais, FR
100% Gamay
Winemaker Notes:
"As of 2017, Chénas became an important addition to Thevenet’s roster of wines. It’s the smallest of the ten Beaujolais crus and sits about fifteen-to-twenty minutes by car to the north of Morgon—depending on who’s driving. He found a good parcel of very old vines on a soft slope with deep pink granite sand and gravel topsoil—a combination that makes for wines with great aromatic lift, mineral intensity and depth. Here the ancient vines are bottled under the Chénas Vieilles Vignes label, while the younger vines are bottled simply as Chénas."
