Morgon Les Micouds

It is the smallest terroir among the Morgon climates,which is located at the bottom of the Côte du Py and oriented towards the rising sun with a fairly early maturity. The wine combines finesse and well-integrated tannins. The structure is straight and pure. The style is gourmand!

Colour

Intense and brilliant ruby color with purplish highlights.

Nose

Is showing very well, opening in the glass with notes of raspberries, plums, dark chocolate and spices.

Mouth feel

Medium to full-bodied, deep and layered, it's supple and succulent, with excellent concentration, powdery tannins and lovely acids.

Food and wine pairings

Very nice match with all the kinds of white and red meat and with Asian food as well.

« Chermette's 2019 Morgon is showing very well, opening in the glass with notes of raspberries, plums, dark chocolate and spices. Medium to full-bodied, deep and layered, it's supple and succulent, with excellent concentration, powdery tannins and lively acids. This is an excellent additionto the portfolio. »
