100% Gamay. The 2023 Morgon “Grands Cras” offers a dense, vivid core of dark red and black fruit — think black cherry, blackberry, and perhaps bramble — lifted by accents of mandarin rind and fragrant dried petals. Beneath the fruit there’s a fine mineral backbone: slate, wet stone, maybe a chalky texture on entry, which gives the wine a cool undercurrent. The tannins are polished — fine‑grained, smooth‑coated, noticeable but not harsh — framing the fruit without overpowering it. There’s also warmth and spice: black pepper, a whisper of vine‑smoke, perhaps Indian spices. The finish is crisp, energetic, with a saline or slate‑like persistence that recalls the terroir. Overall the wine shows structure and depth, yet with elegance and tension, certainly enough to cellar but also compelling now with some air. Pair with roast or grilled duck, especially with a cherry or berry‑based sauce.

Details

From our Winemaker's Writings: Located in the village of Morgon, he is hard working and meticulous and has great ambitions for his wines that his vineyards easily justify. His 19 hectares (Beaujolais villages 5 hectares; Régnié 1 hectare; Morgon 13 hectares) are planted with Gamay noir on granitic/schistose hillsides. The Beaujolais-Village comes from Chateau du Thulon in the village of Lantignie. The village is renowned for its hillsides and its granite soil. The 12th century chateau belonged to Jean-Marc Burgaud’s aunt, Mme Jambon. The vinification, elevage and bottling all take place in the chateau cellars. The vines are, on average, 50 years old. Typical Beaujolais vinification, with carbonic maceration of the whole berries for 5 to 6 days. Raised in tank for 4 to 5 months. Within Morgon there are several lieu dits and the Cote du Py is considered as the best vineyard in the appellation. This large sloping hillside, where the vines are in excess of 50 years old, has soil of schists, degraded rock, iron oxide and manganese which impart a distinct minerality to the wine. This is a well-structured wine, redolent of black fruits (mulberries and cherries). Carbonic maceration of the whole berries lasts 12 to 15 days, aand the wine is raised in barrel as well as tank. Jean-Marc’s wines are all very bright and pure. Incredible value down the line as Burgaud wines are underpriced compared to other cru Beaujolais producers, especially considering the quality.
