Les Heritiers Saint-Genys Morgon "Aux Charmes" 2018 [JS 97]

James Suckling 97 points.

What a sensational perfume this Morgon has! So rich and sensual, yet so refined and complete on the enveloping yet delicate palate. Mind-blowing concentration at the breathtakingly long finish that builds to a gigantic climax. Drink or hold. 97 points.

Morgon is probably the most famous of the Beaujolais Crus, alongside Fleurie, and it has long been said that this appellation combines the 'charm of a Burgundy and the fruit of a Beaujolais'. This Aux Charmes 2018 is sourced from a plot of 50 year old vines in the south-west of Villié-Morgon and wowed Stuart Pigott of JamesSuckling.com, who gave it a huge 97 points.

Made from 100% destemmed fruit, there is 'sensational perfume' (SP) on the nose that seduces from the outset. The palate is 'rich and sensual, yet so refined and complete' (SP). There is 'mind-blowing concentration' on the incredibly long finish, and its 'gigantic climax' (SP) will leave a lasting imprint in anyones memory.
