Dominique Piron Morgon Cote du Py Beaujolais 750ml

The Morgon cru is located on the hills of the town of Villié Morgon in the North Beaujolais. The climate is continental and the small plots from which this wine comes benefit from a south-eastern exposure overlooking the Saône valley. At 200-300 meters above sea level, these vines, over 50 years old, thrive on basements of old, weathered granite, rich in iron oxide. Manual harvest, sorting table, partial destemming and punching down. Fermentations for 15 to 20 days in order to extract the best tannins from the skin, the structure and aging supports. Aging at 30% in wood, casks and barrels in order to bring roundness. Dark garnet color. Aromas and flavors of stone fruits, especially cherries, and even kirsch with age. The wines are structured, mineral and very good aging. Nice spicy note.
