Domaine Calot, Morgon AOC (Beaujolais, Burgundy, France) 2019

 I find that Morgon wines tend to be the earthiest of the Beaujolais Cru and this one doubles down on that stereotype.  Notes recalling crushed rocks, dried tobacco leaves, sun-dried red and black fruit, and campfire ash all bounce around like trying to follow a Steven King storyline.  The complexity is exciting.  Beaujolais are great food-pairing wines and the tannins in this one make it perfect for a rich, fattier dish.  I’m pairing it with a brisket ragú.
