The Morgon 2022 Les Charmes from Domaine de Colonat is an expressive and complex wine from Beaujolais. This wine comes from the famous Les Charmes vineyard, known for its deep and concentrated wines, and is made from carefully selected Gamay grapes. In the glass the wine shows an intense ruby colour, with seductive aromas of ripe cherry, blackberry and plum on the nose, enriched with subtle floral and spicy accents. On the palate the wine offers a harmonious balance between freshness and power. The tannins are firm but supple, giving the wine a fine structure and the potential to age further. The ripe fruit flavours are enhanced by mineral and earthy notes typical of the Morgon terroir. The long finish is fruity and elegant, with a touch of spice that underlines the complexity of this wine. Domaine de Colonat uses traditional winemaking methods to preserve the typical expression of Gamay from Morgon. This wine is excellent to enjoy now, but can also age for several more years to develop more depth.
Excellent with grilled duck breast, game dishes or mushroom stew.
