RATINGS

93Vinous / IWC

Expansive black raspberry, cherry and baking spice qualities on the nose; smoky mineral and floral nuances... Juicy and fleshy on the palate, offering sappy red and blue fruit liqueur and violet pastille flavors that show fine delineation and spicy lift. Finishes sweet and long, with building spiciness and fine-grained tannins that come in late.

REGION

France, Beaujolais, Morgon, Cote du Py

Cote du Py is a famous vineyard on the slopes of Morgon’s central Mount du Py. The soil is a hard black schist, meaning coarse-grained metamorphic rock made of layers of different minerals. Of the 10 crus of Beaujolais, Moulin-a-Vent and Morgon are considered to have the finest terroirs.

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.
