Vintage Report

The 2019 vintage in Beaujolais is of excellent quality and received a score of 94 points. The wines from this year are ready to drink early and are very accessible.

The Morgan, a favorite of winemaker Dominique Piron himself. But now also ours, because this CRU Beaujolais is truly magnificent, with so much richness and finesse. This quality is so high that it's said to be aged for a maximum of seven years, which is unprecedented for a Morgan wine.

The special grape variety Gamay

The vineyards for this Morgon La Chanaise are located on the hills surrounding the town of Villie Morgon, in northern Beaujolais. The climate here is continental, and the small plots where this wine originates benefit from a southeasterly exposure overlooking the Saone Valley. At an altitude of 200 to 300 meters, the vines, which are over 50 years old, flourish on rotten rock soil rich in iron oxide and slate. The blue grape variety Gamay is inextricably linked to Beaujolais wines. This variety is a cross between Pinot Noir and Gouais Blanc, a grape variety native to Croatia and brought by the Huns in the 4th century. It is a particularly sensitive grape variety, as its quality can be either good or terrible, with no middle ground. Gamay is unique because it is suitable for both young, fruity wines and also contains sufficient minerals and structure to allow the wine to age well.

What does Domaine Piron Morgon La Chanaise taste like?

When the Gamay grapes are perfectly ripe, they are hand-harvested from the best locations, as Piron's vineyards are highly prized in the region. The grapes are partially destemmed, followed by fermentation for 15 to 18 days in concrete tanks, where the solids are regularly immersed. Beautiful, full, ripe bunches produce a unique wine with a wild bouquet of forest fruit, lavender, strawberry, and vanilla on the nose. The palate is full and rounded with fine, stimulating tannins, making this wine challenging. Plenty of richness of red and light black fruit with a touch of spice and a hint of vanilla.
