G. Descombes Morgon Beaujolais Gamay 2020: A Taste of Organic Burgundy Excellence

Producer & Origin:
Crafted by the esteemed G. Descombes in the renowned Morgon cru of Beaujolais, Burgundy, France, this 2020 Gamay wine is a testament to traditional winemaking and organic farming practices.

Vineyard & Varietal:
Sourced from a blend of younger vines, aged between 5 and nearly 50 years, these grapes thrive in decomposed-granite soils across hilly parcels. The Gamay varietal shines in this expression, offering a unique terroir-driven profile.

Winemaking Process:
Embracing organic methods (though not certified), the harvest is meticulously hand-picked. Vinification follows a traditional approach with whole-bunch, semi-carbonic maceration in large vats—cement, fiberglass, or stainless steel—using native yeasts and no added sulfur. Aging occurs in a mix of vats and large wood foudres for about a year, resulting in a wine that matures gracefully, often released later than its peers. Bottling involves minimal sulfur and light, non-sterile filtration to preserve its natural character.

Tasting Notes & Alcohol Content:
With an alcohol content of 13.5%, this Morgon Gamay offers a balanced and approachable drinking experience. Expect vibrant fruit flavors, subtle earthy undertones, and a smooth finish that makes it perfect for casual sipping or pairing with a variety of dishes.

Organic & Sustainable:
For those seeking organic wine options without compromising on quality, G. Descombes delivers. This wine is a great choice for eco-conscious consumers who appreciate sustainable farming practices and traditional winemaking techniques.
