Tasting notes
The 2016 Morgon Corcelette was hit by April hail, but the wine has turned out very well indeed, offering up aromas of plums, cassis, cherries and subtle grilled meat. On the palate, it’s medium to full-bodied, layered and elegant, with velvety tannins, good acids and a supple profile, with just a touch of chewy tannin to resolve on the back end.

Vivid ruby. Powerful, mineral-accented red fruit liqueur aromas are complemented by hints of candied lavender, five-spice powder and incense. Silky, pliant and appealingly sweet, offering palate-caressing raspberry and cherry compote flavors given lift and focus by a core of smoky minerality. In a pure, energetic style, showing excellent finishing thrust, harmonious tannins and lingering stoniness.
