RATINGS

95The Wine Advocate

...deep and incipiently complex bouquet of ripe black cherries, rich soil, iron filings, potpourri and elderberry. On the palate, it's full-bodied, deep and multidimensional, with immense unforced concentration and pitch-perfect balance, underpinned by velvety tannins and succulent acids.

94Vinous / IWC

...complex, hugely perfumed bouquet evokes candied boysenberry, cherry liqueur, incense and smoky minerals, and a suave floral overtone... Powerful yet lively, spice- and mineral-accented dark berry, violet pastille and musky rhubarb flavors... Finishes sweet and extremely long, leaving behind zesty mineral, spice and floral notes.

REGION

France, Beaujolais, Morgon

Morgon is considered one of the finest of the Beaujolais Cru appellations. It is also the second largest with 2,717 acres of vineyards. The appellation is in central Beaujolais south of Fleurie and is centered around Mont du Py, whose Côte du Py granite hillsides are home to some of the best Morgon vineyards. The Gamays made in Morgon are full-bodied and concentrated but less fruity than other Beaujolais Crus. Morgons are also known for their ability to age, unlike some other Beaujolais. The alcohol content is often relatively high and in some vintages the wines approach 14% alcohol. About 700,000 cases are produced annually.

TYPE

Red Wine, Gamay, Cru Beaujolais

The Gamay grape produces a light, versatile and food-friendly wine. It is best known for making Beaujolais Nouveau, but it is also grown in Loire and Tours. Thankfully the 14th C. Duke of Burgundy’s degree to ban the grape did not spread through all of France.
