Mommessin, Morgon (Beaujolais, France) 2020

 This is a chilled red wine from Beaujolais that should absolutely be on your summer wine list.  Côte du Py is a tiny hillside in Morgon, Beaujolais, that is known for its blue stones, volcanic soils, and disintegrated schist soils.  The wines are rich in minerality, and it is that minerality that I found so attractive in this wine.  Additionally, I found a nice complexity from notes of potting soil and black fruit.  Beaujolais cru wines, like Morgon, are becoming more popular — especially amongst my friends who are sommeliers.  They are big enough to serve with a steak but are also light enough to pair with pork.  I personally enjoy these wines with a light chill which is why I would recommend them in spring and summer.  With a price tag under $25, you will not be disappointed.
