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'.
