Côte du Py Morgon
Morgon comes from a speical terroir made up of decomposed rock and friable schist, and is without a doubt the most typical of the ten Beaujolais “Crus”. Its ‘”terroir” taste becomes more intense over time. The vineyards are owned by the Lacoque family, who have farmed this land for many years.
Tasting Notes
This wine has a brilliant garnet color, with aromas of fresh black fruits, cherry and kirsch, along with the minerality that is typical of the Cote du Py terrior. It is full-bodied, rich and structured, with firm tannins and a persistent finish.
Winemaking
Harvesting of this wine is conducted manually, in whole bunches from a 24.7-acre south-facing plot where the vines are 50 years and older and configured in the traditional Gobelet system. They are destemmed and only the best bunches move to vinification. This wine undergoes frequent pumping over, with malolactic fermentation taking place in stainless-steel tanks. This wine does not see any oak.
