Morgon has a beautiful structure and is one of the leading crus of the Beaujolais. It is also famous for intensely expressing its terroir. The nose is silky with fruit aromas and a warm, pastry-like quality. It is round and greedy in the mouth and brings flavours similar to those of a candy. Morgon wines can be appreciated in their youth but also their maturity.
