Overview:
The Joseph Drouhin 2022 Morgon Beaujolais is a compelling wine that blends tradition with distinctive character. Sourced from the renowned Villié-Morgon vineyard, nestled between Régnié and Chiroubles, this wine showcases the unique terroir of Beaujolais. The name "Morgon" refers to the decayed soil in which the vines thrive, enriched with schist and thin sheets of mica, which impart depth and longevity to the wine. With a structure reminiscent of some of the great wines of the Côte d'Or, this Morgon stands out as a fine example of Beaujolais' capacity for elegance and complexity.

On the nose, powerful aromas of cherry and wild berries dominate, with hints of earthy complexity. The palate is fleshy and round, delivering a wine with great depth and character. Balanced and full-bodied, it captures the essence of Beaujolais, yet with the structure and complexity found in the finest wines of Burgundy.
