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!
