Jean-Paul Thévenet
Jean-Paul Thévenet produces Gamay-based wines from Morgon, one of Beaujolais's most structured crus. The winery's portfolio centers on three expressions of this granite-rich terroir: Le Clachet Morgon, Cuvée Tradition Morgon, and Morgon. Gamay from this region develops darker fruit character and mineral tension—a departure from the lighter, fruit-forward style associated with Beaujolais Nouveau. Morgon's volcanic soils and elevation create wines with backbone and aging potential. Thévenet's wines have been assessed by Wine Spectator, Decanter, Wine Advocate, and Wine Enthusiast, reflecting their standing within serious Beaujolais criticism.
