JEAN PAUL THEVENET MORGON 'LE CLACHET' 2015 BEAUJOLAIS

Jean-Paul Thévenet is one of the winemakers responsible for bringing greatness back to 
Beaujolais.  He is very old school in his winemaking philosophy and makes this wine from 70 
year-old vines in the Morgon area, which are cultivated organically and yield very little fruit.
The grapes are fermented with natural yeasts without the addition of any sulphur dioxide. 
After fermentation Thévenet ages the wine for eight months in used oak barrels that he gets 
from Domaine de la Romanée-Conti before being bottled without filtration.
Bursting with aromas of bright red fruit which explode on the palate, the wine has a 
wonderful brine-like quality and a long cooling mineral finish. This is what Beaujolais is really
all about.
​

THE GRAPE ESCAPE

The Grape Escape is a wine bar in Cheltenham offering a selection of over 250 labels and a 
weekly changing list of wines available by the glass. The bar is run by wine-loving husband 
and wife team Ant and Zo who's passion is infectious and service is impeccable. 

There are regular events including wine tasting, quizzes as well as some amazing daily offers. On the first Monday of every month they host a wine tasting event, giving you the chance to try some fine wines from all over the world.  The tastings are all themed and might cover a specific region, grape variety or even a single producer​.
