Morgon 2020 6x75cl

An extremely rich and generous Cru Beaujolais with plenty of supple fruit as well as a hearty richness that makes it superb with cold meats and casseroles.

Vineyards

The underlying soil of Morgon is granite, but another feature of Morgon is a schist known as 'roche pourrie'. Morgon is made up of six 'climates': Les Charmes, Corcelette, Côte du Py, Douby, Les Grands Cras and Les Micouds. Since 1996, Louis Jadot has been purchasing vineyards in Morgon and the wine from these sites is now made under the label of Château des Jacques.

Vintage

A vintage of excellent quality, which started early thanks to a warm spring and early summer, with some very hot whether in July and August. Pinot Noir in particular had small berries, but beautifully concentrated and Chardonnay managed to hold its acidity.

Winemaking

The wine is fermented for 12 to 20 days in vats.

Enjoy with:

• Grilled and Roasted Red Meats
• Casseroles/Stews
• Mild Creamy Cheeses
• Mature Strong Cheeses

Beautiful with traditional Boeuf Bourguignonnes.
