- TASTING NOTE: "The 2021 Morgon Les Charmes, which comes from vines planted in 1933, has a little more precision than the Grands Cras - more mineralite, even though they were in fact bottled the same day. The palate is medium-bodied with fine-boned tannins, open-knit - a little fleshy with a lovely poise on the finish. Jean-Marc remarked that this vineyard is more difficult to work - but it was worth the effort. Drinking Window: 2023 - 2032" 91 Points - Neal Martin, Vinous
- ABOUT THE WINE: Les Charmes comes from granitic soils to the west of Morgon which produce wines that tend to be more approachable than Côte du Py. The vines are gobelet trained and planted at a high density to reduce Gamay's vigour. All the grapes were fermented as whole bunches which Jean-Marc refers to as 'sémi macération carbonique'.
- ABOUT THE PRODUCER: Domaine Jean-Marc Burgaud began in 1989 and has slowly expanded to now cover 13ha in Morgon, 1ha in Régnié and 5ha of Beaujolais Villages. Of the Morgon holdings, 8ha lie on the hillside of Côte du Py and are on average more than 50 years old. Before establishing his winery at the age of 22, Burgaud completed a diploma in oenology and viticulture, but his learning began long before that, drawing on the long history and traditions of the regional producers who came before him. Burgaud follows the rhythm of the seasons and has farmed using organic principles for more than 10 years, working his densely planted vineyards by hand and horse. Burgaud vinifies with traditional Burgundian methods: whole cluster maceration in concrete vats for variable durations according to the vintage and the appellation. Only indigenous yeasts are used in the cellar and, with the exception of sulphur at bottling, nothing is added during the vinification process as he seeks typical wines of terroir.
