The 2022 Georges Duboeuf Morgon “Mont Chavy” is a classic Cru Beaujolais that highlights the depth and structure of Gamay from the Morgon appellation, one of the most serious crus in the region. Sourced from granitic soils with vines averaging around 50 years old, it reflects a balance of fruit richness and mineral-driven structure. The nose is expressive and layered, offering strawberry, cherry and blackberry alongside notes of dried herbs, forest floor and subtle floral lift.
On the palate, it is medium to full-bodied with a firm yet supple texture and fine tannins. Juicy red and dark fruit flavours are complemented by hints of spice and a gentle mineral backbone, leading to a structured, fresh and persistent finish. The style is classic Morgon—more robust and age-worthy than typical Beaujolais, combining fruit-forward charm with underlying depth.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is a great introduction to Cru Beaujolais with more structure and seriousness than entry-level styles. It’s versatile, food-friendly and offers both immediate enjoyment and short-term aging potential. Drink now or over the next 5–8 years. Perfect with roast pork, charcuterie, grilled meats or mushroom dishes.
