Founded in Villié Morgon four generations ago, the Thévenet family domain is managed by Jean-Paul Thévenet. His son, Charly Thévenet, has created a wine in dedication to him, baptised Grain & Granit. Behind these family estate vines are organic farming methods . The vinification is a simple process where the wines are neither filtered nor clarified. Jean-Paul Thévenet joins the likes of winemakers Marcel Lapierre and Jean Foillard who have been instrumental in giving Beaujolais wines a new name in the natural wine scene. The wines he produces are elegant, juicy and show good capacity for ageing.

Matured for 6 months in concrete and 6 months in barrels used for 3 different Burgundies, the Grain et Granit cuvée is a subtle wine with red fruit and floral aromas, much like a good Brouilly. Supple and quaffable, this is an elegant Beaujolais.
