Jean-Marc Burgaud, Morgon ‘Les Charmes’
£23.26
Vegan.
Coming from a winemaking family, it was almost inevitable that Jean-Marc would set up his own estate, which he did in 1989 with his wife Christine. Their 19 hectares are divided between Morgon (13 hectares), Régnié (one hectare) and Beaujolais Villages (five hectares) and Jean-Marc believes that this is the maximum area he can cultivate while still producing the quality he is after.
From the west of Morgon, the 60 year-old vines for the Morgon Les Charmes are grown on granitic soils which produce a poised and expressive example of this appellation.
Tasting Note:
The wine boasts an expressive dark fruit character, with lifted acidity and a finely-grained tannic structure, which concludes with a intense, long finish.
