- TASTING NOTE: An ample and succulent wine, with notes of wild berries, smoked game and orange rind. The body is supple and sensual with a lively acid line and a mineral, saline finish.
- ABOUT THE WINE: Grapes are sourced from the lieu-dit, Grand Cras, with vines over 80 years old grown on alluvial soil at 250m elevation. Carbonic maceration of the whole berries lasts 12 to 15 days, and the wine is raised in barrel as well as tank.
- ABOUT THE PRODUCER: Domaine Jean-Marc Burgaud began in 1989 and has slowly expanded to now cover 13ha in Morgon, 1ha in Régnié and 5ha of Beaujolais Villages. Of the Morgon holdings, 8ha lie on the hillside of Côte du Py and are on average more than 50 years old. Before establishing his winery at the age of 22, Burgaud completed a diploma in oenology and viticulture, but his learning began long before that, drawing on the long history and traditions of the regional producers who came before him. Burgaud follows the rhythm of the seasons and has farmed using organic principles for more than 10 years, working his densely planted vineyards by hand and horse. Burgaud vinifies with traditional Burgundian methods: whole cluster maceration in concrete vats for variable durations according to the vintage and the appellation. Only indigenous yeasts are used in the cellar and, with the exception of sulphur at bottling, nothing is added during the vinification process as he seeks typical wines of terroir.
