Morgon Côte du Py James, Jean-Marc Burgaud (magnum) - 2020

This cuvée of terroir - decomposed schist rich in iron oxide - and old vines is one of the most renowned in Beaujolais. It reaches here a level that we did not expect: a racy, ripe and deep nose of peony, black fruits and liquorice. Ideal volume and grace on the palate, great follow-through, draped tannins delivering a noble and spicy flavour. Long, sappy, it asserts itself as a truly great wine!
