2023 Domaine de Leyre-Loup Morgon, Beaujolais, France
ABOUT THIS WINE
This Morgon is an elegant French red wine made from 100% Gamay grapes. 100% Gamay noir à jus blanc from vines over 50 years old. The grapes are sustainably farmed with both Terra Vitis and High Environmental Value certifications. Harvesting and sorting is completed by hand. The winemaking combines two techniques: the alcoholic fermentation of destemmed berries and the semi-carbonic maceration of whole grapes still on the stalks. Slow, extended fermentations are conducted at very low temperatures using only indigenous yeasts to preserve the delicate aromas and the precision of the granite-rich terroir. Aged in stainless steel to preserve the fruit's freshness. This wine has an aging potential of 6 to 10 years.
