roduced from south-facing slopes on an exceptional rocky fault, this 2013 Morgon Les Roches from Château du Chatelard reveals all the power and authenticity of the Villié-Morgon terroir. Cultivated on soils rich in schist, quartz, and gneiss, this emblematic Beaujolais cru offers a noble and intense expression of the Gamay grape variety.
On the nose, a generous bouquet of black and red fruits intertwines with subtle spicy notes characteristic of the terroir. On the palate, the attack is clean and precise, revealing ripe fruit flavors supported by rich yet supple tannins that give the wine a remarkable structure and excellent length.
This full-bodied and powerful Morgon, partially aged (60%) in oak barrels, pairs perfectly with grilled red meats, coq au vin, or aged cheeses. Its aging potential of 5 to 8 years will allow it to further develop its aromatic complexity.
An exceptional wine for lovers of authentic and expressive Beaujolais crus, faithfully reflecting the typicity of its rocky terroir.
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 montre tout le potentiel du Gamay à Morgon : fruits rouges mûrs, violette, touche poivrée. En bouche, une belle ampleur et un équilibre remarquable. Déjà très agréable, mais pourra aussi vieillir quelques années. Rapport qualité-prix irréprochable.
Une vraie belle découverte !
C'est un délicieux Morgon. Nous l'avons bien apprécié avec une côte de boeuf.
Les Roches 2020 offers depth and purity—black cherry, violets, and a hint of graphite. Medium-bodied and silky, with bright acidity and minerality that echo the rocky soils of Morgon. A classy, age-worthy wine.
Smooth and fruity with ripe red berries and a light spice that lingers nicely. I had it with grilled chicken and roasted vegetables—lovely match. This bottle punches above its price—great value for money!

Structure is present, but not stiff. Dark fruit, pepper, and great drinkability.
