Simone, the mother of Jean-Paul Thevenet, is honored through this wine, serving as a sort of tribute. It deviates from their usual structured and dense Morgon wines, instead sourced from a small vineyard in the neighboring Regnie Cru.

In a wine glass, it presents a delightful combination of fresh cherries and raspberries, supported by a delicate tannin backbone and a linear finish. This homage is truly delicious.

Jean-Paul Thevenet, a member of the esteemed "Gang of Four" in Beaujolais, alongside Guy Breton, Jean Foillard, and Marcel Lapierre, has earned legendary status. He is a winemaker deeply rooted in tradition, employing organic practices to cultivate his old vines and allowing the nuances of his terroir to shine with minimal intervention. Among the four, Jean-Paul is considered the most traditional, crafting pure, expressive wines that possess a remarkable vitality.
