The word “morgon” means “rotten land” because the shale is falling apart. In 2014, Maison Joseph Drouhin signed an exclusive partnership with the Hospices de Belleville, historical owners of 14 hectares in the 3 crus of Morgon, Fleurie, and Brouilly.
Purplish-purple, this Morgon immediately reveals its temperament, which is confirmed on the olfaction by its notes of very ripe red fruits, spices and liquorice. Its mouth is drawn on a tannic structure still a little firm dressed by a balanced and fruity flesh.
The wines offer great maturity and remarkable energy. They have a good level of acidity as well as a mineral character. It deserves a year of patience to reveal its character then it will reveal all its superbness in the next 6 to 10 years.
