Morgon Rouge "Cuvée Classique" 2023 - Domaine Jean Foillard

A Gamay from Morgon in Beaujolais, made by Domaine Jean Foillard from organically farmed vines. The grapes are hand-harvested, followed by cold carbonic maceration and fermentation of whole bunches with indigenous yeasts. Ageing takes place in used wood for four to five months, without filtration or added sulphites. Deep garnet red. The nose shows ripe red fruit and wild plants with a clear mineral note. On the palate it is broad and rich-bodied yet well balanced by acidity and savouriness, with an elegant fruity finish. It pairs well with pink meats such as lamb chops, small game birds and cheese.
