Guy Breton Vieilles Vignes Morgon Gamay 2018

$39.99

Guy Bretonand#39;s calling card has long been his old vine Morgon, which represents a large part of his production. Produced from a few acres of 80 year-old Gamay planted on granitic sand, this is a Morgonandnbsp;par excellenceandnbsp;and the 2018 we've just received is exceptional. The wine is impeccably balanced with ripe, not boisterous red fruit, crackling with minerality and savory notes of black tea and earth. There is a bit of tannic grip for a Gamay but the wine is totally in harmony, with refreshing acidity and incredible persistence on the palate. This is a bottle that will reward 5-10 years of patience handsomely.

Sipping Fine Wine Delectable Pro

Sourced from the Saint Joseph and Grand Crus subzones of the appellation, which give fine, stony wines, from 80-year old vines. A high-lying sandy parcel gives more complexity, structure, and acidity to the wine. Medium Ruby with red fruit and floral aromas. On the palate flavors of red plum, cherry, banana and earthy mint. Vivid acidity, medium fine tannins, dry with a medium+ finish. Very good, bottle age benefited!

Can I collect all gang of four in 2018 Morgon threads? This one is perfumed and reminiscent of cherry licorice sticks, Asian plum, cola, and rose water. Very finesse driven and elegant.

Not as nice as some of the other beaujolais we have had but still a nice wine. Needs a couple of hours of air for the fruit to reveal itself, otherwise quite closed. Acid and tension slightly less than I hoped but worked well with pork chops in a dijon sauce.

Nice morgon. Bit lighter than I was expecting. But a good Beaujolais that went very well with some nice sausages. Decanted 2 hours which was the right call given a bit young.

Smoky and dirty. Doesn’t hold a handle to the regnie.

Best of regular Bretons. Still light bodied for a Morgon
