This exceptional Morgon wine boasts a brilliant, deep purple hue. Harmonious and expressive, its bouquet reveals captivating aromas of blackcurrant, plum, violet, and old-fashioned rose. On the palate, it gently coats with waves of fresh red fruits, particularly cherry, delivering a tender and mature experience. This wine pairs beautifully with rib-eye steak, game meats, and robust cheese.
Jean-Ernest Descombes dedicated his life to the Morgon appellation, elevating its reputation over more than thirty years. Known as a charismatic figure in the Beaujolais region, he welcomed countless journalists and wine enthusiasts to his cellars to taste his fine creations. His vineyards were planted on some of Morgon’s finest terroirs, including the Côte du Py—a volcanic hill where Gamay thrives magnificently.
France
Situated just south of Burgundy, Beaujolais is a wine-growing region with a semi-continental climate conducive to the production of fresh, fruity, brilliant red wines. Its emblematic grape variety, Gamay, expresses remarkable purity and vivacity, whether in the cuvées de soif or the deeper expressions of the crus.
The region boasts ten prestigious crus, each with its own personality: Brouilly, Côte de Brouilly, Chénas, Chiroubles, Fleurie, Juliénas, Morgon, Moulin-à-Vent, Régnié and Saint-Amour. Names that resonate with fans of gourmet red wines, combining freshness, finesse and character.
Un vin qui sent la roche, la cerise juteuse et la garrigue. Attaque souple, milieu de bouche ample, finale saline. Le tout porté par une belle structure acide-tannique. Côte du Py dans toute sa finesse. À carafer ou à garder.
Un morgon d'exception à faible prix
Un excellent morgon
Ce vin est un Beaujolais typique, facile à boire, frais, fruité, et sans complexité excessive, ce qui le rend parfait pour des occasions décontractées et des repas simples. Ce vin est parfait avec des plats simples et conviviaux, tels que des viandes grillées (brochettes, poulet rôti), des charcuteries ou des fromages légers (brie, chèvre).
This Morgon Côte du Py 2020 from Descombes is a standout—intense cherry, violet, and earthy spice glide over a firm mineral core. It’s powerful yet poised, showing why this hillside is one of Beaujolais’ finest terroirs.
What a surprise! Smooth and fruity with layers of ripe cherry, blackberry, and a little spice on the finish. No harsh edges, and it paired wonderfully with roast duck. Great value for money – this bottle punches above its price.
Un très bon Morgon à un bon rapport qualité prix.
