Laurent Perrachon Morgon Corcelette

Domaine Laurent Perrachon's Morgon Corcelette is a red wine produced in the prestigious Beaujolais Cru appellation, Morgon. This "Cru" status guarantees higher quality and unique characteristics compared to Beaujolais Villages wines.

The grapes for this wine come from the Corcelette vineyard, located on western slopes with granite and slate soils. This specific soil combination contributes to the wine's structural strength and mineral notes. The vineyard consists of 50 year old vines, resulting in concentrated grapes with intense aromas and flavors.

The harvest is done by hand and machine, but a selection of the grapes is also made in the wine cellar on the sorting table. The grape bunches are destemmed for 30 to 45%. Fermentation takes between 12 and 15 days and with daily pumping and battonage. The wine is further aged in concrete barrels and in large wooden foeders for 9 months.

Morgon Corcelette has an intense garnet red color. The nose is rich with aromas of ripe red fruit, such as cherries, plums and raspberries, combined with floral notes and hints of pepper and spices. The taste is powerful and elegant, with firm but refined tannins, fresh acidity and a mineral aftertaste. The wine has a long and complex finish.

Wine - Food pairing

Morgon Corcelette is an excellent accompaniment to various dishes. Perfect with grilled meat, stews, game dishes and hard cheeses. The wine can also be paired with poultry, provided the sauce is a bit stronger.
