$29.00
Louis-Claude Desvignes (certified organic)
France / Beaujolais / Morgon
Red of Gamay
One 750ml bottle (12 bottles make a full case)"This wine is a single vineyard expression of the 0.5 hectare Montpelain parcel. It used to be blended into the "Voute Saint-Vincent" cuvée but was always vinified indivudually. Now you get to taste it on its own... Morgon is, along with Moulin-à-Vent, the most age worthy of the Cru Beaujolais and Desvignes wines are fine examples. The wines age terrifically and take on the character of Pinot Noir, or pinotize (the term used in Beaujolais). When young, the character is of dark cherry, raspberry and blackcurrant. With age, the wines become more earthy, velvety with cocoa and coffee tones." -Louis/Dressner
