Taste
Supple and fresh, with juicy red fruit and extra depth
Aroma
Bright red berries, floral notes and a hint of spice
Description
A new arrival, this is a beautifully expressive Beaujolais with a little more depth and grip than you might expect, showing why Morgon is often regarded as one of the most characterful of all the Beaujolais crus. Bursting with juicy red berry fruit, soft spice and a subtle floral lift, it has a lovely balance of freshness, charm and quiet structure that makes it so easy to return to. Refined, poised and full of appeal, this is a very smart bottle for roast chicken, charcuterie or a simple relaxed supper, and while it is delicious now, it should also drink well over the next 3–5 years.
- 94/100, James Suckling, “Stunning nose of sour cherries and black raspberries with hints of forest floor and pomegranate. A very impressive Morgon in which power, freshness and elegance are effortlessly married. Wonderful texture on the concentrated and polished palate.” (2022 vintage)
About the Estate
Awarded amongst the Top 100 Wine & Spirits Brands in the World by the Luxury Lifestyle Awards, Chateau de La Chaize has been a family-run wine-producing estate for almost 350 years/since 1676 in Beaujolais. Today they cultivate 150 hectares of organic vineyards, comprised of 23 individual plots divided among the Brouilly, Côte de Brouilly, Fleurie and Morgon appellations. For ethical and ecological reasons, Château de La Chaize made the decision to convert its entire estate to organic viticulture, and in 2022, after the three year transition period, their first certified organic vintage was produced. Apart from managing their vineyards organically, they also rely on thermal and solar powered energy, aim to use machinery, vehicles and equipment that run on electricity or hydrogen and also prioritise zero waste and carbon neutrality. In addition, they have also created small catch basins and a natural water treatment area planted with reeds. The recycled water is used to water the 7,000 trees and shrubs that have already been planted on the estate.
