Chateau des Jacques Morgon 2018

Winemaker Notes: *DAMAGED LABEL Produced from a blend of Côte du Py, Bellevue, and Roche Noire, this 2018 Morgon is a compelling take on Cru Beaujolais with structure and sophistication. The nose opens with generous aromas of blackberries, dark cherries, and exotic spice, lifted by a floral violet note and hints of cracked pepper—an elegant expression of its volcanic, granitic soils. On the palate, it’s medium‑to‑full-bodied and richly textured, balancing fleshy dark fruit and a chalky, mineral backbone. Silky tannins and bright acidity carry flavors of juicy cherry and blackberry through a long, seamless finish. There’s a taut tension here, suggesting both immediate appeal and the potential to evolve gracefully in bottle. Points: 95 - Boutellier Wines
