Morgon

Domaine des Terres Dorées (Jean-Paul Brun)

Morgon Gamay 2022

Always well made and always a great value. Nose needs some air to coax it out. But then there’s gorgeously pure black cherry and crushed stone powder. Mouthfilling flavors of dark, ripe fruit and minerality. Fairly long finish. Seems very tight, and there’s good acidity and some noticeable tannin, so this looks like a sure bet for improvement over the next few years at least. 9.1 for now but I’m pretty sure there’s upside. — 7 days ago

@Tom Casagrande, I adore Jean-Paul Brun, tasted in his cellars in Charnay a few times, and met him at multiple trade tastings in SF that his buddy Eric Texier used to get us into (Eric’s cellars are 5-7 minutes away from J-P). Since he strives for a Burgundian-style, his wines always seem to show great acidity and a capacity to go 5 to 10 years in the cellar.

Very elegant wine that has found a lovely balance.
Long aftertaste and surely potential to keep going.

50-year old vines close to Fleurie and Chiroubles (more pink granite soil). Dark garnet color, black tea and strawberry. Fresh with light tannins, but not much structure or acidity. Great for immediate drinking. — 5 months ago

Cuvée 3.14 Morgon Gamay 2014

The fruit for “Pi” is sourced from Foillard’s oldest vines on Côte du Py. These vines are believe to be more than 100 years old. Popped an poured; enjoyed over the course of an hour. The 2014 “Pi” pours a deep ruby/purple color with a translucent core; medium viscosity with moderate staining of the tears. On the nose, the wine is developing with notes of funky dark fruit: black cherry, purple flowers, a whiff of horse blanket, sous bois and minerals. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium+ tannin and medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is long. Beautiful stuff. Drink now through 2039. — 4 months ago

Very nice Beaujolais. Was quite curious how this would present given the wide variety of opinions on this wine. Aromatically quite beautiful - delicate flowers, lighter red fruit. Palate follows through nicely. Restrained at this point, and the 14% doesn’t present in any negative way. Long finish with great earthy tannins and good acid. Perfect cold night pairing with a rotisserie chicken. — 7 months ago

It’s been my experience that these need a lot of time to really show their best. I have never tried the 2018 vintage though.
