Guy Breton Vieilles Vignes Morgon Gamay 2018 (1500ml)

Sipping Fine Wine

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.

Pooneet K

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.

Michael Duffy

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

Charles Mires

Best of regular Bretons. Still light bodied for a Morgon

Matt Sharp

Large format 2018 as a gift. Well-rounded, whole cluster goodness.

Christian Ford

A classic although relatively straightforward at this point

Jean-Phillippe Landry

Wonderful fruit, fresh. Not the most elegant but lovely to drink.
