2015 Château La Grange Cochard Morgon Les Charmes Organic, Beaujolais

From vines up to 100 years old, grown on soft pink granite in Les Charmes, the highest climat in Morgon, reaching over 400m. Fully de-stemmed, followed by a 2-3 week fermentation and maturation in 3-4 year old French oak barriques.

The 2015 Morgon Les Charmes is utterly irresistible, bursting from the glass with extravagant aromas of ripe black cherries, mulberries and violets, lifted by a subtle hint of balsamic reduction. On the palate, it's full-bodied, textural and voluptuous, with velvety, melting tannins and a generous core of succulent, tangy fruit that never strays over into over-ripeness. The result is a Morgon that's simultaneously gourmand and refreshing, exemplifying the particular kind of deliciousness it was possible to capture in the 2015 vintage. Drink 2018-2028.’ 

An intensely perfumed bouquet evokes ripe red fruits, Indian spices and minerals, along with an exotic touch of incense that emerges with air. In a nervy, elegant style for a rich vintage, offering appealingly sweet black raspberry, cherry, floral pastille and spicecake flavors that show very good depth as well as finesse. A spine of juicy acidity adds lift and focus to an impressively long, floral-dominated finish framed by supple, harmonious tannins. Drink 2021-2027.’
