A bottle to be tried several times, for a festival of aromas ! Notes of dark berries (blueberry, blackberry), nuanced by red berries (raspberry, redcurrant) and delicate floral touches. The texture is juicy and delicious. The wine is generous and round, but not without depth, marked by silky tannins. There's no doubt about it: a precise, sulfite-free wine bursting with fruit, to be enjoyed with summer meats!

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.
