Morgon Château-Gaillard

Anita owns a plot of old vines in Morgon’s Château-Gaillard vineyard, situated at 250 meters altitude and exposed to the south and southeast, with relatively poor soils of friable quartz. Fermented with a combination of whole clusters and destemmed berries, this cuvée is aged 80% in cement and 20% in used Burgundy barrels—an elevage well suited to this terroir’s tendency toward richness. Anita perfectly checks that richness, creating a wine of deep, dark fruit, subtle salinity, and a clean, soaring finish.
