Morgon Rouge Vieilles Vignes 2019 | Wine from Domaine Georges Descombes

Morgon Rouge 2019 | Wine from Domaine Georges Descombes

Domaine Georges Descombes, located in the Beaujolais region, is a key reference for natural wines. Georges Descombes, inspired by Marcel Lapierre, took over the family estate in 1988. Since then, he has practiced organic and low-intervention viticulture, allowing each terroir to express itself fully. The harvest is cooled, and little to no sulfur is added, ensuring wines of great purity and unique aromatic intensity.

The Morgon Rouge 2019 Vieilles Vignes is an iconic wine of the estate. Made from 100% Gamay grown organically, it stands out with its aromas of ripe red fruits and subtle floral notes. This vintage offers a full, fresh, and elegant palate, with silky tannins and a beautiful aromatic persistence.

On the nose, the Morgon Rouge 2019 expresses complex aromas of black cherry, currant, and violet. On the palate, it reveals a beautiful structure, a perfect balance between acidity and roundness, as well as intense and pure fruit. The tannins are fine and integrated, accompanying a persistent and savory finish.

The Morgon Rouge 2019 from Domaine Georges Descombes pairs perfectly with a charcuterie and aged cheese board. It also enhances a roast beef with small vegetables thanks to its freshness and aromatic complexity. This wine also pairs wonderfully with poultry-based dishes or game terrines.

To be enjoyed at an ideal temperature of 14-15 °C, this wine can be appreciated today or stored in a cellar for 5 to 8 years, where it will develop even more complexity.
