100% Gamay. The 2023 Morgon “Grands Cras” offers a dense, vivid core of dark red and black fruit — think black cherry, blackberry, and perhaps bramble — lifted by accents of mandarin rind and fragrant dried petals. Beneath the fruit there’s a fine mineral backbone: slate, wet stone, maybe a chalky texture on entry, which gives the wine a cool undercurrent. The tannins are polished — fine‑grained, smooth‑coated, noticeable but not harsh — framing the fruit without overpowering it. There’s also warmth and spice: black pepper, a whisper of vine‑smoke, perhaps Indian spices. The finish is crisp, energetic, with a saline or slate‑like persistence that recalls the terroir. Overall the wine shows structure and depth, yet with elegance and tension, certainly enough to cellar but also compelling now with some air. Pair with roast or grilled duck, especially with a cherry or berry‑based sauce.
