Morgon is a Beaujolais of harmony and elegance, so nicely illustrated in this wine from the Domaine Jean Descombes. The color is a deep ruby, while the aromas are a little closed but offering clearly defined black cherry notes. Full richly textured flavors, layers of fruit, 13% alcohol, good acidity and nicely integrated tannins, distinguish this complex Cru Beaujolais. Additional aging will benefit the patient with greater complexity and depth of flavors.
