Appellation: Beaujolais - Morgon AOC AOP

Morgon Côte du Py Rouge 2017

Damien Coquelet
Notes of plum and ripe cherry: this 100% Gamay, which "Morgonnes" properly, is fleshy, lively, and fresh, full of vitality and energy. It comes from high-quality plots with light, sandy soils in the northern part of the famous Côte de Py, one of Morgon's emblematic terroirs. The tannins are dense and powerful, beautifully softened, but give this wine a beautiful structure. A wine for pleasure and gastronomy, to drink now, but which can easily be drunk more than ten years after its vintage: it is a superb wine for laying down.

Morgon Côte du Py Red 2020,

Les En Hauts

Plum, cherry, flesh, structure: this is a Gamay that's full of Morgon, and for good reason. Juice, sap, gurgling, and pleasure: the famous Côte du Py has struck again, with all its spices, fruit, and overflowing minerality. This is the result of the combined work of winemakers Damien Coquelet and Frédéric Cossard. This wine is the result of semi-carbonic maceration of whole bunches, and is aged for ten months in concrete eggs.

Les En-Hauts is not strictly speaking a wine estate but a project of vintages produced in partnership between Damien Coquelet and Frédéric Cossard. These two great figures of Burgundy viticulture—yes, Beaujolais is in Burgundy—had every reason to join forces to produce colorful and flavorful vintages together.
Frédéric Cossard is a biodynamic and natural star of Burgundy winemaking, who gives voice to the terroirs and Burgundy wines, undeformed by agricultural chemicals. His vintages are pure and elegant without artifice and are among the most sought-after in Burgundy. His practice is not limited to Burgundy, as vintages are made from grapes purchased in other regions. His vines are tended according to the principles of biodynamics: homeopathic treatments based on essential oils, copper, and sulfur in minimal doses. The harvest is entirely manual, carried out at full maturity. Damien Coquelet, for his part, is the worthy successor of the great organic winemakers to whom we owe the advent of nature in the Beaujolais region: he is the son-in-law of Georges Descombes, and Jean Foillard was his mentor, who continued the pioneering work of Jules Chauvet and Marcel Lapierre. Owning nine hectares in Morgon on granite-sandy soils, he cultivates two and a half hectares plus a few leased vines: in all, four hectares on the legendary Côte du Py. A specialist in Morgons qui morgonnant and Chiroubles qui chiroublent, he embodies the true nature of Beaujolais.

Morgon mc2 Rouge 2017,

Nicolas Chemarin
MC2 is the result of blending two plots of Morgon (Corcelette and Les Charmes) planted with forty-year-old Gamay grapes, on sandy and schist soils with a subsoil of clay and decomposed rock. The harvest ferments in whole bunches in concrete vats for twenty days, and the wine is aged for ten months in neutral oak: the result is a dense, dark Beaujolais, very mineral, and long-lasting. This fruity and structured wine can age for another five or six years, but it is already perfect.

Natural wine with no added sulfites.

Morgon Terrain, Rouge 2022

Domaine Bélicard

Terrain Rouge, c’est la rencontre entre la tradition d’un grand terroir du Beaujolais et la liberté du vin naturel. En appellation Morgon, l’une des plus réputées du vignoble, le Domaine Bélicard signe une cuvée 100 % Gamay noir issue de l’agriculture biologique, vinifiée sans intrant, qui révèle toute la profondeur des sols volcaniques de la région.

Un terroir singulier, une vinification précise

Les vignes sont plantées sur des sols rares de basalte, offrant une structure et une minéralité unique aux raisins. Les grappes sont récoltées manuellement, puis mises en macération entière selon la méthode beaujolaise traditionnelle, sans égrappage. La fermentation s’effectue naturellement grâce aux levures indigènes, sans ajout de produits œnologiques. L’élevage de cinq mois en cuves inox préserve la franchise du fruit et la tension minérale du vin.

Une expression nette du Gamay

La robe est rouge rubis brillante. Le nez s’ouvre sur des arômes éclatants de fruits rouges frais (cerise, framboise), avec une pointe florale. En bouche, c’est juteux, droit, d’une belle vivacité. La texture est fluide mais structurée, avec une finale précise, marquée par l’énergie du basalte. Un Morgon à la fois sérieux et libre, fidèle à son sol mais affranchi des standards.

À savourer maintenant ou à garder

À servir entre 14 et 16 °C, sans carafage, sur des plats simples et sincères : charcuteries artisanales, volailles rôties, légumes grillés. Terrain Rouge peut se boire dès maintenant mais évoluera harmonieusement sur 5 ans.
