Georges Duboeuf Morgon Mont Chavy (75cl, 14.1%)

A red wine from A.O.C. Morgon in Beaujolais, France, made entirely from Gamay and bottled at 14.1% ABV in a 750ml bottle. The Mont Chavy vineyard is managed by Franck and Cyrille Chavy, fourth-generation winegrowers working mainly on the Charmes and Corcelette climats. Their vines average around 50 years of age and are cultivated with sustainable viticulture and strict yield control. After harvest, the fruit macerates for 6 to 12 days before Georges Duboeuf selects and bottles the wine. The nose shows ripe blueberry jam and cassis, then dried flowers and an earthy granite-like minerality, with kirsch and spice emerging with air. The palate is rich with sweet dark cherry and boysenberry, medium-bodied, with silky yet firm tannins, raspberry, juicy red berries and white pepper. The finish is long, with black pepper spice, a chewy structure, nuttiness and kirsch.
