Pouilly-Fuissé Domaine de la Bongran (J.Thevenet) 2020

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.

This exceptional Chardonnay embodies a dedicated winegrowing culture. Guided by biodynamic practices, each vine is carefully nurtured and hand-picked to ensure optimum quality. The sun-drenched grapes impart delicate notes of white flowers, hints of fresh citrus fruit and a subtle minerality that characterise the unique terroir of Pouilly-Fuissé. A veritable symphony of captivating and memorable aromas.
An explosion of aromas emerges from a dazzling golden colour. Notes of white fruit, citrus and honey seduce the nose. On the palate, complex flavours, freshness and structure create a memorable sensory experience.
Start with a warm ’oat's cheese salad, a light dance to awaken the taste buds. Follow with prawn ceviche, an exotic fusion of flavours. Vegetarians will love a pairing with a wild mushroom risotto, and a tarte tatin will add a touch of sweetness to round off this refined feast.
