History and terroir :
An outstanding winegrower, Jean Ernest DESCOMBES was also a gifted vinifier. Three quarters of his vines were over 50 years old and were planted in the best “terroirs”. After he left for the Lord’s vineyards in October 1993, his daughter Nicole took up the torch. She always says that wine always resembles the person who made it; she says the same about her father’s Morgon.
Tasting :
A great, very harmonious Morgon with blackcurrant, plum, violet and old rose aromas. The wine gently coats the palate to reveal successive waves of fresh red berries, especially cherries. A soft, beautifully mature wine. We recommend to taste this wine at 14-16 °C.
