Anthony Thevenet was raised around his grandfather’s vineyards in Morgon. When his grandfather passed away Anthony inherited 3 ha of vines, and most recently in 2014, he inherited a parcel in Côte du Py. Morgon is easily one of the most celebrated cru names in Beaujolais and is situated right in the heart of Beaujolais. With a semi-continental climate, which enjoys long, hot summers and cold winters, the region is perfect for the Gamay grape. The sandy and rocky soils of Morgon provide a certain structure and richness that is rarely matched by other crus. The famous hill of Cote du Py has a unique soil type that is mostly composed of schist, blue granite and volcanic rock produces the most powerful examples of Beaujolais. Morgon may be the Beaujolais’ quintessential village.
