Georges Duboeuf Morgon Jean Descombes 2022 (75cl, 13.5%)

A Cru Beaujolais red wine from the A.O.C. Morgon appellation, made from 100% Gamay grown on volcanic slopes including the Côte du Py. It undergoes semi-carbonic maceration for 10 to 12 days, followed by malolactic fermentation in temperature-controlled stainless-steel vats. The nose offers intense floral notes, kirsch, ripe black fruits, a subtle peach undertone and a mineral edge from the volcanic soils. The palate has juicy plum, tart red fruit, sweet blackberry-jam flavours and spiciness, with young tannins and a dusty, mineral texture. The finish is medium-to-long, with final acidity and lingering dark fruit and mineral.
