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: Sulphur
An antiseptic and antioxidant substance known since antiquity, probably already used by the Romans. But it was only in modern times that its use was rediscovered. It will allow a better conservation of the wine and thus favour its export. Sulphur also gave the 18th century winegrower the possibility of extending the maceration period without fearing that the wine would turn sour and thus go from dark rosé wines to the red wines of today. Excessive sulphur, on the other hand, kills happiness, paralysing the aromas and causing headaches.
