A bottle to be tried several times, to discover the evolution of its full aromatic palette. Let yourself be seduced first by notes of black berries (blueberry, blackberry), then nuances of red berries (raspberry, redcurrant) and finally delicate floral touches (peony, rose). The dense, juicy body is generous and round, with a marked structure and silky tannins. A No Added Sulfite experience!

Expert opinion
Guide Hachette des vins
Domain rated (guide 2019) Awarded wines (The wines of this producer are regularly awarded by the guide)
About the domain :
Son and grandson of winegrowers, Franck Chavy set up in 1991 with a few hectares of Morgon. Through buyouts and sharecropping, he has expanded his estate to 9.5 ha, while at the same time making his mark in the Guide, where he is a sure bet. This success is undoubtedly due to his high vine density (10,000 vines/ha) and long maceration periods.
