Description
Julien Sunier, Morgon
Sunier’s Morgon 2.5 hectares of organically farmed, 60-year-old vines across Morgon are among the finest in Beaujolais. Harvest is strictly manual and yields in 2021 were incredibly low at 30 hl/ha which is right in line with Grand Cru Burgundy. Fermentation is natural and the wine aged for nine months in neutral Burgundy barrels. His Morgon is a masterclass in ampleness and lift: The palate—the biggest of his three crus—is supple and multi-layered but 12% alcohol and superb energy give it mindblowing finesse. You’ll uncover ripe Morello cherry, strawberry, candied rose petal, damp earth, spiced plums, and heaps of pulverized minerality with a hint of smoke. Decant for at least 30 minutes and enjoy over the next 3-5 years.
