Corcelette Morgon Gamay

Solidly built but closed right now. Needs time. The Fleurie is way more approachable, from the same vintage.

Violets and bright red fruits.

Macerated berries, toast, fresh, tart, youthful tannins. Fun $23

Very nice versatile wine. Good with mushroom Bolognese and butternut squash with quinoa.

N: raspberries, violets, white pepper
P: + black cherries, blueberries, dried thyme, bramble

Very feminine. More Four Seasons suite than a bikram yoga class.

Drink a little cooler than room temp.
Beauty on the nose. Dream on the palette.

If I didn’t know better I would think I’m drinking a Pinot Noir, but the deep ruby red color says, not this wine. The nose is violets and earth with cherry in the mix, a hint of dried herbs too. Medium acidity and soft tannins. This has a hit of alcohol and a medium - finish. It’s easy to drink. Glad I tried...but as the bottle quickly empties...am I?

Cru Beaujolais from Morgon. Dark fruit, earthy notes, medium body, juicy acidity.
