Delicious wine, and it’s not typically a style I enjoy. Cranberry, raspberry, and red currant on the nose & palate. Rust and tart red fruit on the front. Medium-plus acidity. Medium body. Fruit throughout. Tart, almost sour finish that’s balanced by tons of red fruit and subtle cocoa. Excellent with food and on its own. — 2 months ago
Montchoisy – Gamay – 2023
Morgon AOC · Beaujolais Cru · France 🇫🇷
Overview
A more structured expression of Gamay from the Morgon cru, known for producing Beaujolais wines with deeper color, firmer tannins and age-worthy potential. This bottle leans into the classic Morgon profile, ripe fruit, tension, and a touch of earth.
Aromas & Flavors
Bright raspberry, cherry cola, crushed red berries, and pomegranate. Subtle hints of dried herbs, rose petal and that signature Morgon mineral-earthy edge.
Mouthfeel
Lively acidity with medium body and slightly firmer tannins than most Beaujolais. Vibrant, juicy and structured, with a persistent red-fruit finish.
Food Pairings
Charcuterie, roast chicken, pork tenderloin, mushroom dishes, grilled salmon, or soft cheeses like Brie and Chaource.
Verdict
A tasty, slightly more serious Gamay that shows why Morgon is considered one of the top crus. Fresh, flavorful, and versatile, great for both casual sipping and dinner pairings. Cheers!
Did You Know?
The soils of Morgon are rich in roches pourries (“rotted rocks”), decomposed schist and volcanic rock that give the wines their distinctive depth and minerality. — 4 months ago

Another incredible Burgh. This needs about 12 hours to open up under an argon atmosphere. Before that an 8.7 quite boring and flat . Very dark / super refined cherry notes - Kirsch Brandy aka Schladerer from Staufen/Baden. Port wine on the nose. For Chambolle - Musigny made in 2005 this had too much fruit but now ultra refined tannins - and i hate the word ultra smooth…. — 22 days ago
