Region and Appellation Information
Beaujolais

Region – Beaujolais

Offering a deep ruby red, Beaujolais is more than just a wine; it's an agricultural region that produces as many as 2.3 billion bottles of red wine per year. This French wine is renowned for its fruity taste and robust structure and has been popular since the 19th century. Beaujolais wines are also rich in pigments of carotenoids which give the wines their characteristic dark purple hue. The wine is typically made from the Gamay grape which is one of the darkest of red grapes.

Appellation – Morgon

A very large cru, second only to Brouilly, and one of the most distinctive in terms of soil and savour, which allows the Gamay grape to be cultivated in a variety of ways.

Centred around the villages of Morgon and Villié-Morgon, it is home to over 250 producers. The characteristics of a Morgon are defined by its powerful, robust, and fleshy structure, with aromas of cherry, plum, and kirsch.
