2023 Chauvet Freres - Morgon Cote du Py (750ml)

Description

In the heart of the Crus area of Beaujolais, wines of the “Morgon” AOC are often described as best representing the character of their terroir. The appellation is dominated by a hill called Mont du Py. Its soil of decomposed schist gives typical aromas to the wines. Chauvet’s Morgon Côte du Py is produced on this hill peaking at 300m above sea-level. The selected parcels are very sunny on south-oriented steep slopes.

Tasting Notes

Deep ruby in color, this wine offers a complex nose, minerally and fruity. It mingles aromas of ripe raspberry, black and morello cherries with hints of flint, ink, clove and black pepper. The highly vibrant palate has a sound underlying structure which is powerful yet velvety, thanks to tannins which despite mellowing, are still very perceptible. This is a stylish wine bearing the hallmarks of its terroir with a long and spicy finish.

Age of vines

Estate

Mr. Chauvet was a well-respected winemaker in the 1970’s, who shared his expertise and knowledge with other winemakers in the Beaujolais and Mâconnais regions in the southernmost part of Burgundy. After he passed away, his passion and craft are being carried on by the next generation of dedicated winemakers.

Vinification

The grapes are partly destemmed and macerated for 12-14 days. Aging takes place in cement tanks, with no fining and light filtration.

2023 Pavillon du Chavannes - Cote de Brouilly Cuvee Ambassades (750ml)

750ml | SKU 102101 | Out of Stock

This is a very old school Beaujolais in the best sense: beautiful garnet color, beguiling aromatics, and a burst of refreshment in the mouth—and that burst is a savory, mineral, toothsome thing because of the domaine’s high elevations and because of Brouilly’s meager volcanic soils. Some crus emphasize soil notes, others give fruit, but only good Côte de Brouilly gives stone in the flavor.

Ferments typically are spontaneous in concrete vats and the vast majority of the élevage is in concrete (with a few neutral barrels). Production averages 20,000 bottles.
