The 2023 Château de La Chaize Morgon is a structured and expressive Cru Beaujolais crafted from 100% Gamay, sourced from granite and alluvial soils that give Morgon its signature depth and aging potential. Produced from carefully selected vineyard parcels, it reflects a more serious, terroir-driven style of Beaujolais with both richness and freshness.
The nose is aromatic and layered, showing ripe cherry, raspberry and strawberry, complemented by floral notes, spice and subtle smoky accents. On the palate, it is medium-bodied with a refined structure, offering juicy red and dark fruit balanced by fresh acidity and well-integrated tannins. Hints of pepper, graphite and dark chocolate add complexity, leading to a smooth, elegant and persistent finish.
The style is classic Morgon—deeper and more structured than typical Beaujolais—yet still vibrant and approachable, with the ability to develop further complexity over time.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is a great step up for customers exploring Cru Beaujolais with more depth and structure. Ideal for those who enjoy Pinot Noir or fuller Gamay styles. This is not a light, simple red - it offers richness, balance and aging potential. Drink now with a short decant or over the next 5–8 years. Perfect with roast pork, duck, mushrooms or hearty dishes.
