Anthony Thevenet’s interpretation of Beaujolais is a unique combination of wines from decades past and today’s trend of voluptuously fruity, early-drinking renditions with a serious edge. After cutting his teeth in the cellar of Georges Descombes, one of the local veterans of natural winemaking, followed by five years as the right hand man of Jean Foillard, one of the true luminaries of Beaujolais, he went out on his own. 2013 was his first vintage, though his walk through the fire began early in his career with the hot 2015 vintage followed by 2016, where hail destroyed the majority of his production that year—testing his skills in managing results no one has seen in Beaujolais as long as his 90 year-old grandmother has been around. Petit Perou is a family offshoot run by his siblings.

The "lieu dit", or named vineyard of Pisse Vieille boasts many advantages. This 22 hectare south facing area is between 400 and 500 metres above sea level. The clay, limestone and decomposing granite soil is perfectly suited to vinegrowing. It is the only INAO officially recognized "lieu dit" within the 1200 ha Brouilly appellation area, which spreads over 6 Beaujolais communes around Mont Brouilly.
