Wine of the week: Medicine from Morgon

We love France and we love pretty much everything French. So we keep returning here for our wines of the week. This time we travel to the exiting appellation of Beaujolais. Here they mostly produce light and delicate red wines. Some whites are made too, but the fame comes from the reds produced on the Gamay grape.

Once every year, for a limited time only, you can find the Beaujolais Nouveau in stores. We made a special episodes for out podcast on this. Check it out:

In Beaujolais you will find three levels of wine. First you have the straight up Beaujolais wines. This is the most grown and standard wines of the region. Then you find the Beaujolais Villages wines. These are specific to what communes they've been grown in. And finally you have the top ten cru wines. The finest of the region. These are: Brouilly, Chénas, Chiroubles, Fleurie, Morgon, Moulin-à-Vent, Saint-Amour, Juliénas, Côte de Brouilly and Régnié

Wine of the week is a Morgon, made with 100% Gamay. It's a fantastic wine at a fantastic price. All in all medicine for cold winter bodies.

Tasting notes

Laurent Perrachon Morgon Corcelette 2017 - 185 KR

​Burgundy blue-ish colour.

Intense and intriguing nose, with notes of dark plums, liquorice, currants and some spicy wooden flavours. 
After a few minutes in the glas a rich bouquet of raspberries also opens up. 

Rich and powerful entry with a sweet feeling to it. Flavours of dark berries, plums and black currants. 
Nice tannins and a luxurious mouth feel. The wine feels more expensive than it is.

Long, exciting and delicious after taste.

WITH FOOD:
Will work with a number of different dishes. Moderate tannins makes it perfect with a pizza with spicy salami, pasta Bolognese, pork or barbecue chicken.
Sweet potato burger, if you're hungry for a vegetarian option

Gret wine, great price, great producer.
