Drouhin is a name synonymous with quality, offering the assurance that every bottle delivers exceptional craftsmanship and value. With this Morgon, that reputation is fully realised. As one of the top 10 Crus of Beaujolais, Morgon showcases the beauty of traditional winemaking techniques—whole bunch fermentation and semi-carbonic maceration. Whole clusters are placed in the vat, blanketed with CO₂, and left to undergo fermentation from within. After a few days, the grapes are gently plunged, allowing for colour and tannin extraction before pressing at 4 to 10 days. Morgon stands out as one of the more structured and age-worthy Crus, delivering depth, character, and longevity. This is Beaujolais a cut above the rest.

a deep, dark and brooding bouquet with blackberries, bramble, tar, cedar and spice with hints of rose petals and violets.

the wines of Morgon have good colour as well as a solid tannic structure with flavours of dark berries, a bouquet garni of dried herbs, rosehips, cedar, baking spices and an earthy complexity. The tannins are robust yet charming gripping your cheeks but, in a supply, and silky manner. Delicious on every level. Perfect drinking now through 2030+ with gamey meats and savoury pasta dishes. The recommended serving temperature is 14-16 degrees.
