France | Burgundy | Domaine de Colette | Morgon Charme

Morgon Charme

Varietal
Gamay Noir

Notes
VINEYARD: The domaine's top Morgon cuvée from a parcel called Charme, a single plot of 80 year-old vines planted on south facing schist slopes.

VINIFICATION: The grapes, after a strict selection, are vinified by carbonic maceration then aged in cement tanks before being bottled.

TASTING NOTES: Apart from the remarkable minerality imparted by the schist soils here, this is a bounty of ripe red fruit. This perfect balance not only makes it a great food wine (think coq au vin, game meats and mature cheeses) but makes it interesting to cellar a few bottles and see where it goes.
