2019 Anthony Thevenet Morgon Cuvee Vieilles Vignes

Producer: Anthony Thevenet 
Region: Morgon, Beaujolais, Burgundy, France 
Varietal: Gamay 
Year: 2019

Winemaker Notes: 

"The mix of vineyards comes mostly from Douby, a zone on the north side of Morgon between the famous Côte de Py hill and Fleurie, and the lieu-dit, Courcelette, a parcel completely made of soft, coarse beach-like sands. Much of these vineyards are on softly sloping aspects ranging from southeast to southwest. There are rocky sections also, but generally the vineyards are sandy, leading to wines led by elegance and subtlety, but endowed with great length and complexity from their very old vines. The climate here is a warm by contrast to those further uphill."
