Morgon Grand Cras, Mommessin Les Grandes Mises

The Vineyards which are managed with sustainable farming have been grassed for the past 5 years. This reduces the growth of the vine and gives a better grape concentration. This Morgon Les Charmes opens with a ?jammy? nose, with aromas of black fruit, candied cherries and fig. Its ruby red colour, intense and brilliant, reveals a wine of fine structure to the taste, associated with freshness and tight tannins. Its soft texture, lightly oaked precedes a persistant, complex, charming finish!

About the Wine

Gamay

gam-may

Located at the foot of Mont Brouilly, Mommessin is the alliance of two regions: Burgundy and Beaujolais. Making the most of these two winemaking cultures and their exceptional assets has defined Mommessin’s unique style since 1865. The Grandes Mises range, created to illustrate this revival could be translated as “Great Cuvee” to signify very high end wines. The best grapes are selected from each plot, vinified separately and created in limited quantities, which are declared on each bottle.

The Country

France

Following on from a fantastic vintage the year before, French vineyards endured a mixed bag of weather conditions in the early part of the growing season followed by a long, hot summer which produced some memorable wines, even to rival to the excellence of the previous year.
