Laurent Gauthier Grand Cras Vieilles Vignes Morgon 2011
Morgon, Beaujolais Villages, Beaujolais, Burgundy, FranceLaurent is part of the Terroir Originels, a group of eight innovative and independent Bojo producers who have banded together for sharing marketing and philosophies. This wine macerates with a submerged cap for 15 days before resting in foudre for one year, followed by 15 percent then sliding into new oak barrel. The result is a big, dusky, concentrated wine, with dark black cherry, fragrant spices, toast and cassis. Tannins are firm and the finish is cracked black pepper. This could easily, handsomely, stand up to steak frites.Tasted: 15 November 2015Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:France | $15.00 | 750ml | winery direct |
