Morgon, Les Charmes, Château Bellevue 2021

Full to the brim of red and blackberry fruit with subtle spice as well.

The majestic Chateau de Bellevue, built in the 19th century, on the hill of Bellevue, overlooks the village of Ville-Morgon, one of the most famous of Beaujolais' ten Cru.
The wines here are produced using a combination of stainless steel, French oak barriques and even some concrete.
All of the grapes vinified in the winery are grown on exceptional hillside vineyard plots belonging to the Chateau.
A truly classic Morgon, showing perfume and subtle spice, and full to the brim with red and black fruit. Just a touch of firmness and clean acidity give this wine a delightful complexity.
A Morgon is fuller in body than your average Beaujolais, opening up different matching possibilities. We like this with game birds, particularly Guinea Fowl or Pheasant.

The majestic Chateau de Bellevue, built in the 19th century, on the hill of Bellevue, overlooks the village of Ville-Morgon. Located in the heart of the Beaujolais viticulture region in the South of Burgundy. Industrious vineyard owners from Lyon, built a cellar behind the chateau between 1830-1840, which saw multiple generations make wine at the Chateau.

In 2009, Maison Jean Loron purchased Chateau Bellevue, restoring the castle, modernising the winery and revitalising the historic barrel cellar.

All of the grapes vinified in the winery are grown on exceptional hillside vineyard plots belonging to the Chateau. The multifaceted terroir of each climate brings nuance to each wine, with the Chateaus clos considered the crown jewel.
