Jean-Michel Dupré
Vieilles Vignes Morgon Gamay
Morgon, Beaujolais, Burgundy, France
McCarthy & Schiering, $19
Red fruits on the nose - strawberry and raspberry. Soft flavors of red berries as well with a mineral background. There's a fun sweet and sour note playing together - the sour from the slightly acidic berry notes and then the sweetness reminds me of Red Vines licorice. Nice smooth tannins, the acidity is just enough to brighten and balance, the fruit is very forward and delicious but there's other things there to keep it interesting. It's less floral and silky than the Fleurie I had before this, but still an excellent Beaujolais, my second favorite of all time so far
