Georges Descombes Morgon, Beaujolais, France 2023
Georges took over this domaine in 1988 from his father. He grew up amongst the vines, inspired by the purity and elegance of Gamay through the great wines of Marcel Lapierre. Most consider him the unofficial 5th member of Kermit Lynch's 'Gang of 4'. Georges works organically in the vineyards and practices minimal intervention wine making.
Grapes are chilled when they arrive to the cellar and see long semi-carbonic macerations (three weeks to a month) in various vats. The wine is then aged in 228l Burgundian barriques for at least 12 months. 15 to 20mg per liter of sulfur added at bottling. The fruit is dark and intense but not weighty, making this a balanced and classic Beaujolais for any season.
Grape: Gamay (50+ year old vines)
