Trenel Morgon Côte du Py
AOC Côte du Py, Beaujolais, Burgundy
Tasting Notes
Intense ruby-red garnet in color, this wine offers a complex nose, minerally and fruity. It mingles aromas of ripe raspberry, black and morello cherries with hints of flint, ink, clove and black pepper. The highly vibrant palate has a sound underlying structure which is powerful yet velvety, thanks to tannins which, despite mellowing, are still very perceptible. This is a stylish wine bearing the hallmarks of its terroir with a long and spicy finish.

A cool, ideal winter followed by a chilly spring which averted late spring frosts, yet summer was blazing, resulting in early vine maturity, concentrated berries and lower yields.

Maceration of the destemmed grapes at 50% for 12 to 14 days. Aging in cement vats, no fining and light filtration.

In the heart of the Crus area of Beaujolais, wines of “Morgon” AOC are often described as best representing the character of their terroir. The appellation is dominated by a hill called Mont du Py. Its soil of decomposed schist gives typical aromas to the wines. French winemakers usually describe this particularity in a verb: “morgonner”. Trénel’s Morgon Côte du Py is produced on this hill peaking at 300m above sea-level. The selected parcels are very sunny, on south-oriented steep slopes. Age of vines are 55 years on average.
