The wine shows an almost black colour and expresses plum, black cherry and spicy aromas. The mouth is full, deep, complex, still dominated by the spices (pepper, cloves) with some wild hints.
Recently created, and a recent addition to our Beaujolais range here at JN Wine. The Domaine Joseph Burrier proposes, in addition to Château de Beauregard, some of the best terroirs from the south of burgundy, in the Mâconnais/Beaujolais region.

The Morgon Appellation covers 1100 ha, between Fleurie and Brouilly. The soils are made up with decomposed schists and granites named "roche pourries". The Domaine Joseph Burrier acquired in 2007 one hectare of the climat 'Grand Cras'. At the footstep of the 'Côte de Py', by the south border of the Appellation, the sunny hillside of 'Grand Cras' slightly faces East.

Grape variety: Gamay 100% - Average age of the vines: 40 years.
The vineyard is managed to promote microbial life in the soil, to encourage deep rooting of the vines. Strict control of the yields; culture respectful of the environment, 100% handpicked.
Gamay has low tannins and refreshing acidity, making it an ideal red wine partner with dark fish such as grilled salmon or tuna. It can also be an excellent contrast to foods that are oily, fatty, or high in salt, such as saucisson sec or roasted meat. It is at home with classic bistro fare such as roast chicken or steak frites.

"Aromas of redcurrants and wild strawberries... Plenty of fruit... Fine tannins."
88 - 90 points.
