Antoine Sunier Morgon 2024

100% Gamay

Beaujolais. Appellation:Morgon.

Vineyard: 60 year old vines from the lieu-dit Croix de Chevre in the Grand Cras. 270 meters in altitude.

Soil: Ancient alluvials and very rocky.

Viticulture: Organically farmed since 2003, full Agribio certification.

Vinification: Gravity flow to tanks, indigenous yeast fermentations at low temperatures to preserve fresh fruit flavors and a delicate tannic structure. Whole cluster fermenteation for 8-15 days, horizontal pressing, manual racking for elevage.

Aging: Aged 8 months on the lees in 90% neutral burgundy barrels and 10% concrete tanks. Bottled with no fining or filtration.

Notes: This old vine Morgon from the highly regarded sector of Grand Cras has an earthy and energetic profile reflective of its rocky soils. There is a plushness and drinkability that gives early enjoyment, but the structure promises a few good years ahead.
