On the palate, it is savoury and complex, offering an enveloping structure and a bold personality.
Where it comes from
This red originates in the heart of Morgon, one of the most prestigious areas of Beaujolais. In Villié-Morgon, Guy Breton tends to vines over 40 years old that draw strength from a unique terroir. The longevity of these plants yields grapes of great concentration, giving the wine density and impeccable stylistic precision. Thanks to its solid structure and the balance of its elements, the wine boasts excellent ageing potential, capable of evolving and expressing itself at its best even after many years in the cellar.
How it is produced
The care taken in the vineyard translates into a process that preserves the integrity of the fruit and the freshness of the aromas. To capture every nuance of its aromatic texture, it is recommended to decant for about an hour before serving, at a temperature between sixteen and eighteen degrees. At the table, its lively savouriness pairs beautifully with platters of cured meats and mature cheeses, and it is excellent with meat dishes such as grilled meats and pork cuts.
