Beaujolais
Beaujolais
Morgon at Chateau des Jacques is assembled from three primary sites within the appellation where subsoils vary from ancient blue stone diorite to schist and alluvial silt with decomposed granite, lending the wines a bold and dark-fruited character. This wine is vinified in vats for 10 to 20 days and then matured in oak barrels before bottling.
Tasting Note
Very deep in color, this wine – blend of three single vineyards (Bellevue, Côte du Py & Roche noire) – shows a brilliant and large aromatic palette (spices, ripen black fruit). On the palate, the tannins are still a bit firm – which indicates the potential of ageing – and they are well balanced by a great tension.
