2011v. A blind taster might initially think this is a chard, from the mix of peach, apricot, pineapple, mango, and oaked vanilla on the nose. But the palette reveals a leaner body and distinct minerality. Finish is tropical fruit, that morphs and is complemented by food: from pineapple with a pork roast to honey and peach with a salty chevre (a perfect pairing w/ this wine). Winemaker's website details that this wine has about 18mo in contact with yeast, and is barrel aged 2-4yrs. I typically don't like oaked whites, but the execution of this bottle is fantastic. 13% ABV. — 8 years ago

Late night. Eating jambon royal and sheep's milk chevre. 2010 gigondas in all its glory. This wine is phenomenal. Earthy and floral. Almost like a great garden. But also has dense delicious fruit. Just can't say enough good things. Sent me to bed with a smile. — 10 years ago

This was a fun one to drink! Had a few years in the cellar and came out with a little extra complexity and wow factor. Nothing crazy good and I certainly wouldn't hold on to it much longer but it was worth sitting on one of these and letting it evolve.

It was showing a little extra butterscotch, and the subdued fruit was allowing some nice minerality to show through.

There was maybe just a touch of an unwanted oxidative quality to it, but certainly not offensive.

Paired great with some chevre. — 9 years ago

RATINGS
Publication: Wine advocate
Rating: (89-91)
The 2014 Morgon, which has been organically farmed for 10 years, undergoes carbonic maceration with 80% in old Burgundy barrels for 8 months until bottling in June 2014 with one gram per liter sulfur. It has a light red cherry, slightly gravelly bouquet that is expressive and develops dried rose petals scents with aeration. The palate is medium-bodied with grainy tannin, a sense of symmetry, and a fine, edgy, bitter cherry finish. This Morgon is very elegant and should age well over the next 8 to 10 years.
Publication: Other
Rating: 92 (Gilman)
The 2014 Morgon from Antoine Sunier is aged in a bit lower percentage of used Burgundy casks than his Régnié (eighty percent versus ninety), with the balance of the cuvée raised in epoxy-lined cement tanks. These old vines have produced an excellent and quite classic Morgon in 2014, wafting from the glass in a fine aromatic blend of black cherries, cassis, fresh thyme, campfires, a superb base of dark stony soil tones, incipient autumnal notes and a whisper of cedar. On the palate the wine is pure, full-bodied and sappy at the core, with lovey focus and grip, fine transparency and just a bit of backend tannin on the very long and perfectly focused young finish. Fine, fine juice in the making. 2015-2035. - Jon Gilman — 9 years ago

Pretty astonishing how much this morphs overnight, I must admit it was very harsh yesterday but today it's tasting very pretty, a challenging but highly interesting wine. — 9 years ago

The nose reminds me of grandma's house with cedar and moth balls, rubber dodge ball, gravel, mini-bike tire after a ride on a dirt track. Dry, med-plus flavor intensity, light body, high acid, medium alcohol, citrus fruit, grapefruit pith, super tart. Would pair beautifully with chevre or oysters. — 10 years ago

Dry pears and apricot...toasted almonds and an opening of herb noted fruit. Dances with a distinct sherry nose. Paired brilliantly with baked walnut crusted chevre. Opening your mind and enjoy experiencing outside the box.....JURA

crisp yet moderately sweet, with aromas of ripe apricot and peach preserves, as well as hints of green tea, orange zest, and orange blossom. it is well balanced by a refreshing acidity. Pair recomm: blue cheese, chevre, and smoked gouda, or serve for dessert with poached pears, baked apples, or almonds and hazelnuts. — 9 years ago
