2022 | Olivier Depardon Domaine de la Bêche Morgon Vieilles Vignes | Beaujolais Azienda Agricola La Torre displaying blood orange rindVery old vines (70 to 100 years old!) of Gamay Noir growing on a terroir of blue shale and rotten rocks. A nose of black cherry and fresh raspberry with spicy notes. On the palate, a beautiful aromatic complexity, power, fat and substance are present. Surprising balance and delicacy, mineral and without heaviness with well integrated tannins.
