Morgon | Local Wine Appellation From Rhône-Alpes, France | TasteAtlas

Morgon

Morgon is a French appellation located in Beaujolais that produces juicy red wines from Gamay grapes. These age-worthy wines are usually full-bodied and robust with well-structured and firm tannins. They have a very distinct character and typically display notes of red fruit, ripe stone fruit, and fruit brandy, which may be complemented by mineral notes.


With age, they become more refined and intense, and the best examples are stored from five up to ten years. These wines can match hearty and powerful dishes, and they pair exceptionally well with lamb, beef, and game. They can also work with flavorful cheese varieties.
