Bursting with ripe flavours from the 2018 vintage, this lovely Morgon is from in the reputed Corcelette vineyard. Deeply coloured, the slightly woody nose brims with dark berry aromas. Quite structured with firm tannins, a solid Gamay that will age well (4 to 5 years). Flavourful, with good length, it should match perfectly with a mushroom risotto.
