Description
Domaine Les Gryphées, Morgon Cru Beaujolais
In the glass, it is a nearly opaque dark ruby, while on the nose it is a beguiling mix of black and red fruits: black raspberry, black currant, fresh red and black cherries and wild flowers with faint hints of white pepper and crushed granite. For the Beaujolais whisperers out there, we get some of the inky depth of Foillard and quite a bit of the clarity of Lapierre (if this means nothing to you, let your takeaway be that it is very elegant, even Pinot Noir-esque, with a backbone that isn’t always a given with the Gamay grape, regardless of the “Cru” village).
