Menu
Morgon cru is produced in the north of Beaujolais (south Burgundy).
With a south east exposition, the granitic soil, more or less desagregated into a rotten rock, with schists, is rich in iron oxydise.
Verage age of the vines: More than 50 yo
Grape: 100% Gamay noir Sustainable agriculture
Surface farmed in Morgon: 25 ha
Alcohol: 13%/vol.
Harvested by hand to keep bouquet and aromas of Gamay. A 15 days fermentation in traditional burgundy way, with “pigeages” ensure tannins for structure and ageing. Very few but a little “Foudre” ageing (big old oak barrels).
A ruby dress with an intense and gourmet nose of cherry-raspberry and thyme-bay. It is a fresh wide mouth of red vines. A mineral note and a long finish. Morgon is a wine of character, and fruit, full of complexity and in the same time, very easy and fresh for drinking with most of the foods all over the world. It matches quite well with white meats as veal, chicken and also beef and cheeses.
Our Morgon La Chanaise can age well for more than 15 years if the cellaring is well done. But if you prefer, like most of the people, the wine to reveal classic fruity flavors, it is better to taste it in the first 3 to 5 years, when you’ll also find complexity due to the terroir.
