"This Morgon masterpiece is still very young, but the enormous depth and stunning harmony are already completely clear. Great blue fruit aromas rest on an enormous structure that's almost perfectly integrated on the very concentrated palate. Stunning finesse at the extremely long finish. The soil in this parcel is a mixture of volcanic blue stones and schist. Previously this wine was marketed under the name Morgon Prestige. Drink or hold." – James Suckling

This is a brilliant expression of the granitic soils of Fleurie - among the most highly regarded of Beaujolais’ ten crus. It is fine boned and deftly finessed. A little bit of tannic prickle gathers on the back of a drying, granite-like mineral base. Blackberry and bramble abound, but in a cooler, more precise fashion to what we’re used to seeing in these often well-developed fruits. Purity is the focus here - freshness and focus define the wine. It has a pleasing amount of palate weight, too, for Fleurie and for a wine with such elegance - evidence of winemaking mastery. Brilliant wine. We can see exactly why Suckling is gushing over it.

Outstanding gamay. Snappy and bright without sacrificing its smooth, lithe mouthfeel and palate weight. Fresh berries and Turkish delight are underscored by a gravelly minerality. There is an exactness to the execution; a perfect expression of terroir. The acid grapples with the gums, pushing its way up the palate into a long, enduring finish. A standout wine at a knockout price - this is not to be missed.
