Everybody loves Morgon! It is easily the most renowned of the Cru Beaujolais appellations and the wines are known for having excellent fruit and structure. The 2023 Chateau de Pizay Morgon has brilliant red fruit with sexy spice notes and hints of dried herbs. The palate is bright and open-knit with firm tannins and crunchy red fruit that oscillates from red cherry to pomegranate. The acidity here highlights the purity of fruit while also showcasing the spice and dried herbs notes. There is a mouthwatering feel to this wine that makes it irresistible and ana amazing find for under $20.

Darker-fruited and a bit more brooding than the 2023 Chateau de Pizay Regnie, this Morgon also shows a little bit more tension on the palate, with grippier tannins. Blackberry and black cherry are complemented by tea leaf and forest floor notes. While wild bramble fruit notes dominate the palate, the structure is serious enough to pair this wine with roast or grilled chicken, or even spring lamb. Morgon is known for being one of the most serious of the Beaujolias crus, and this wine really exemplifies that, balancing classic pretty berry notes with fantastic structure.
