Description
  • The appellation of Morgon is situated entirely within the parish of Villié-Morgon where the soil sets its wines apart from the other 'Crus' since the percentage of sand and shale is higher here due to the particular way in which the local schist layers have weathered. Consequently the wines are firmer and darker in colour than the other 'Crus'.
Vinification & Ageing

    Traditional in open vats. 100% malolactic fermentation.
  • Ageing

Wine tasting
  • Tasting Note
    Our Morgon has a beautiful garnet colour. It is complex on the nose: aromas of plum, violet and earthiness blend perfectly with notes of liquorice and tobacco. The palate is round with pretty strawberry aromas and soft tannins.
  • Food Pairing
    Poultry - red meat - mature cheeses.
