Morgon 2024
More vintage
Morgon is known for the intense expression of its terroir. This extensive cru offers a wide variety of soils, from granite to bluestone. The wine is known for its power and slightly wild character. The nose is concentrated and somewhat untamed. The palate opens with lively acidity before revealing black fruit aromas and a beautiful roundness. There is no doubt about it — its fleshy character clearly identifies it as a Morgon.
