🏰 The 2018 vintage was outstanding for Beaujolais, following a hot and wet spring with a very dry summer and early autumn. This resulted in a bountiful harvest of rich, spicy, and concentrated wines that retained great texture, fresh acidity, and vibrant fruit character. It's described as a delicious and age-worthy vintage, offering more clarity and freshness than 2015 or 2017. The wines are supple, fruit-driven, and voluptuous, with succulent fruit. The best examples are expected to age well for 5 to 10 years. Marcel Lapierre's Morgon 2018 typically displays a deep violet color with a nose of black fruits, cherries, and kirsch. On the palate, it offers fine tannins and a long finish, with ripe fruit at the forefront, supported by good acidity and dusty tannins, making it more lush and full than recent years. Overall, it's an energetic wine with fabulous fruit, complexity, and balance. 【Outstanding Beaujolais vintage offering rich, concentrated fruit with freshness and aging potential】. 🍴 This versatile Morgon pairs beautifully with roast chicken with herbs, charcuterie boards, grilled salmon, mushroom risotto, or lighter red meat dishes like pork tenderloin. Its fruit-forward nature also makes it a great companion for casual bistro fare. 🥂 Perfect for a casual dinner party, a summer barbecue, or a gathering where a versatile and enjoyable red wine is appreciated. Its approachable yet complex nature makes it a crowd-pleaser that can also reward a few years of cellaring.
