Discovering 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.

Gamay at its peak.

A traditional component of Vinho Verde DOC blends (Amarante, Baião, Basto), contributing freshness and slight pétillance to the whites of northwest Portugal. White-skinned mutation of the Azal, autochthonous Portuguese grape from the Minho.
