The wine region of Morgon
The most powerful and structured of the ten Beaujolais Crus. Dense, deep reds with signature notes of ripe black cherry, kirsch, stewed plum, faded flowers and spice, firm tannins and notable ageing (5-10 years) — the antithesis of primeur Beaujolais; they are said to "morgonner", evolving towards Burgundian Pinot Noir. Unique decomposed schist soils ("rotten rock") of the Côte du Py. ~1,100 ha, six climats.
The wine region of Beaujolais
Kingdom of Gamay (98% of the vineyard): fruity, accessible reds with signature notes of cherry, raspberry, banana (carbonic maceration), violet and sweet spices, supple tannins and juicy acidity. From festive Beaujolais Nouveau (3rd Thursday of November) to the 10 more structured, age-worthy Crus: deep earthy Morgon, sturdy Moulin-à-Vent, floral Fleurie, crunchy Brouilly. Some lively Chardonnay. 12,000 ha south of Burgundy, granitic soils.
The word of the wine: Free-run wine
The free-run wine is the wine that flows out of the vat by gravity at the time of running off. The marc soaked in wine is then pressed to extract a rich and tannic wine. Free-run wine and press wine are then aged separately and eventually blended by the winemaker in proportions defined according to the type of wine being made.
