Unbelievable. Intense aromas and flavors, zero oak (I thin), very yellow but I love it!!

100% Gamay.
Iron-tinted garnet. Clear and transparent.
The nose is royal. Complex commingling of floral note, red fruit, and minerality. Violet, rose petal, red cherry, wild strawberry, cranberry, tar, and iron. On the bouquet alone, this could very well be misunderstood for a Nebbiolo-based wine.
Structurally, the wine is built for long haul IMO. Grippy tannin, med plus acid, med low body (12.5 abv). 4 years old but this Beaujo tasted so young (who said it cannot age!). Still a lot of red fruit characters backed by mineral/stony frame. The same profile follows through from the aromas to the palate.
Pulled the plug on this bottle on a whim. No regret. Now I know I have to keep my hands off the rest of my bottles for another decade. Lovely juice! 91+ — 8 years ago

A nice burgundy. Smooth and a bit smoky at the end — 10 years ago
Peppercorn, loamy earth and limestone meet plum on the nose. More black cherry than red, with a strong mid palate that transitions effortlessly to an elevated, almost floral (purple flowers) finish. Tannins are well integrated at this point. Enjoyed following 3 hr decant. — 10 years ago
Bright, citrusy, watermelon, acidic and fruity. — 11 years ago

Looking for a wine to go with the Thanksgiving meal? This Gamay will work perfectly with the array of dueling dishes on the table. (Put a couple away in the cellar and take another look around '19. You'll think you're a genius.) — 9 years ago

Our first Morgon and oh, so good! The first bottle didn’t make it past the appetizer, so we had another. Explosive aromas of dark berry, violets and a little orange peel coax you to sip, again and again. A long supple finish, tinged with spice and a lovely sweetness. Delicious. Last night in Paris. South tomorrow! — 7 years ago
