Morgon AOP Red Wine - Beaujolais
Château de Corcelles was rebuilt on the foundations of an ancient stronghold dating back to the Carolingian era. The Richard family acquired the property in 1984. The vineyard now covers 92 hectares. The Morgon plots are situated on south-southeast facing slopes, at an altitude of approximately 250 meters, on shallow granite soils mixed with schist.
The grapes are harvested by hand. Vinification takes place in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks. Partially destemmed, the grapes are vinified for 15 to 20 days, during which time daily pump-overs are performed. The wine is aged in stainless steel tanks before bottling in early summer.
Aromas of ripe fruit and mineral notes are revealed on the nose. The palate is firm, elegant, and beautifully fresh.
It pairs perfectly with meat dishes and cheeses. Serve at 12-14°C.
