The best Morgon terroir, at the foot of the Côte du Py hill. The grapes are harvested from a 42-acre parcel of very stony, schistose soil, rich in iron oxides, a quality characteristic of this appellation. It produces a very fresh, bright purple wine, aged in barrels. Its typical kirsch aromas with peppery nuances blend delicately with animal and vegetable notes.

Expert opinion
Guide Hachette des vins
Domaine noté (guide 2020) Award-winning wines (The wines of this producer are regularly awarded by the guide)
About the domain :
Winegrowers in Juliénas since the early 17th century, the Perrachon family bought Ch. de la Bottière in 1877, then Dom. des Perelles in Romanèche-Thorins (windmill). When Laurent Perrachon set up in 1989, he acquired Dom. des Mouilles, then parcels in Morgon, Fleurie and Saint-Amour: a total of 31 ha, with vines in six crus. With Maxime and Adrien, the new generation joined the domaine in 2016.

About the wine:
Deep ruby in color, this wine has a nose of black raspberry, redcurrant and black cherry. On the palate, the wine is muscular with well-developed, gripping tannins. This Morgon can be aged for over 6 years, or enjoyed now with an hour's decanting.
