Domaine Anita Morgon Château Gaillard comes from the eponymous vineyard, "Château-Gaillard," in the Morgon appellation, situated at an altitude of 250 meters on schist subsoil. This beautiful vineyard boasts vines that are an impressive 70 years old and are hand-picked and selected. Twenty percent of the grapes are destemmed and undergo 12 days of fermentation. During this process, the cap is pressed down daily to extract more flavor and tannins. Finally, the wine is aged for six months in cement tanks and four months in the bottle.
Domaine Anita Morgon Château Gaillard boasts a ruby red color with a purple hue. The aroma is fruity and spicy with notes of strawberry jam, black pepper, and floral notes. The palate is elegant, fresh, and well-balanced with flavors of raspberry, red currant, iris, and beetroot. A subtle chalky minerality is also detectable. The tannins are soft, and the finish is long and lively. This wine is an excellent accompaniment to hearty dishes such as red meat or game, but also delicious with soft cheeses.
