France - Beaujolais

A beautiful, medium deep robe that is perfectly shiny with bluish tints and a colour veering towards carmine. This wine is characterised by its complex nose with some lovely red fruit aromas but above all, very floral nuances, including violet and iris, a hint of cut flowers round off the bouquet. On the palate, finesse and balance are the key words. The attack is supple, silky and harmonious with a touch of raspberry. As the wine evolves it melts in the mouth, its tannins are pleasant leaving an impression of dried flowers and elegance.

Wines are then produced in the cellar where they are stored in tanks and barrels. Next spring they are then bottled on the property. Ruby coloured, with a ripe fruity aroma such as raspberry or sherry. It also a pleasant flowery odour. This wine is strong in the mouth.

The flavours of this wine are as a result of the broken up schist’s in the soil. To describe this condition Morgon deserves its own specific expression and thus the term 'il morgonne' has been adopted. It is a full-bodied and virile wine, dominated by touches of cherry, kirsch and at times apricot. It is also suited for ageing.
