RATINGS

94Vinous / IWC

Pungent, highly expressive blue fruit, floral pastille and smoky mineral aromas show outstanding clarity and definition, with a hint of licorice in the background. Stains the palate with intense boysenberry, cherry compote and violet flavors that are energized by juicy acidity and a jolt of white pepper. Densely packed but energetic as well, finishing with remarkable vibrancy and lingering blue fruit, spicecake and mineral qualities.

93The Wine Advocate

...lovely wine...wafting from the glass with notes of red-black fruit, smoke, iodine, rose petal... On the palate, it's full-bodied, ample and beautifully transparent, with understated depth at the core, succulent acids and deliciously pure and stony finish.

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.
