Frédéric Cossard Morgon Côte du Py Les en Hauts – Morgon – Red – 2020:

 

The Natural Purity of Morgon’s Côte du Py

The Frédéric Cossard Morgon Côte du Py ‘Les En Hauts’ is a standout Cru Beaujolais, a testament to the natural wine philosophy championed by Burgundy icon Frédéric Cossard and his partner, Damien Coquelet. Sourced from the prestigious ‘Les En Hauts’ plot on the famed Côte du Py, this wine benefits from 50-year-old Gamay vines rooted in weathered granite and schist soils, providing its signature structure and profound minerality.

Tasting Notes & Winemaking

• Color: Deep garnet, with a slight, beautiful haze (a hallmark of low-intervention winemaking).
• Nose: An intense and gorgeous perfume of tart red cherries, wild raspberries, crushed rocks, and a floral hint of violets.
• Palate: Lush, fruit-forward, and beautifully structured. The palate is defined by vibrant acidity and fine, persistent tannins, offering excellent depth and length. Aged in concrete eggs, the wine maintains impeccable purity and energy.

Pairing & Service

This is a serious, age-worthy Gamay that drinks like a fine Burgundy. Serve it slightly chilled (58-62°F) to highlight its freshness. The wine’s robust structure makes it a perfect partner for richer dishes-don’t be afraid to cellar it for 5+ years for maximum complexity.
