A little flashier and spicier than his pops' version, but ridiculously tasty, and wide open.

I was unfamiliar with Kévin Descombes wines, but this is a really impressive intro. A bit weightier and fruit forward than some of my favorite Morgons, but nuanced and lively.

Mmmmmmm...I am a slut for a good Beaujolais Cru.

Surprising palate weight. On the ripe side of Morgon fruit, but not fat or flabby. Joyous and giving right now. Also wins the prize for most sediment in a young Beaujolais. #kogodwinemerchant

Loved it. Some light barnyard, but of the good kind. Bright, lovely.

Ripe and earthy with a core of chewy stone underneath decomposing violet aromas. Very Morgon-y. Kid is only 21 but I reckon he has a good mentor.
