{"product_id":"beaujolais-morgon-george-descombes-natural-wine","title":"Beaujolais Morgon 2019","description":"\u003cp\u003eGeorges Descombes' Morgon is 100% Gamay sourced from roughly 7.5 hectares of hilly parcels in the Morgon cru, centered on Villié-Morgon. The soils are predominantly decomposed granite and schist — the weathered, iron-rich geology locals call \"rotten rock\" — which gives Morgon its signature earthy depth and structure compared to lighter Beaujolais crus. Grapes are hand-harvested in whole clusters and fermented with native yeasts via semi-carbonic maceration in large cement, fiberglass, and stainless steel vats.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe wine is aged in a mix of vat and large wood foudres for approximately one year before bottling with a minimal addition of sulfur and a light, non-sterile filtration. Descombes holds the wine longer in élevage than most of his peers, a deliberate choice when working without heavy sulfur intervention. The 2019 vintage delivered lush, ripe fruit across Beaujolais, and in this wine that translates to a full, fruit-forward palate with silky tannins and sustained acidity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eExpect aromas of black cherry, violet, and red currant with hints of earth and kirsch. The palate is round and juicy with a savory undercurrent and a clean, mineral finish characteristic of Morgon's decomposed-schist terroir.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"George Descombes","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40752773857479,"sku":"georgedescombes-morgon","price":32.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0019\/3363\/9735\/files\/george-descombes-morgon-beaujolais-natural-wine-primal-wine.jpg?v=1780185806","url":"https:\/\/primalwine.com\/products\/beaujolais-morgon-george-descombes-natural-wine","provider":"Primal Wine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
