Morgon Côte du Py James, Jean-Marc Burgaud (magnum) - 2021

Provenance: Beaujolais
Appellation: Morgon
Domain: Jean-Marc Burgaud
Grape variety(ies): Gamay
Alcohol degree: 13%

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!

Technique

Viticulture

JM Burgaud produced his first Morgon in 1989. Accumulating parcels over the years, this tireless worker now owns nearly 20 hectares of Gamay. His James cuvée comes from Morgon's best terroir, the Côte du Py, but above all from old vines located at the top of the ancient volcano, facing south, on decomposing schist soil. For the record, this wine is named after the famous secret agent of whom the winemaker is a fan!

Oenology

Traditional Beaujolais vinification with whole bunches, 15-day vatting, alcoholic fermentation in vats, then ageing in non-new oak barrels from leading Burgundy estates for 12 months.
