Frédéric Cossard: A Natural Icon's Morgon

This Morgon Côte du Py 'Les En Hauts' from the visionary Frédéric Cossard is a world-class Cru Beaujolais, crafted in collaboration with Damien Coquelet. It is a pure, low-intervention expression of the region’s finest terroir. The 'Les En Hauts' parcel on the volcanic Côte du Py hill yields 50-year-old Gamay grapes, giving the wine a formidable structure and mineral complexity that rivals fine Pinot Noir.

The Sommelier's Perspective

This is Morgon on the 'wild side', offering both immediate pleasure and significant ageing potential. The use of whole-bunch fermentation and concrete egg aging ensures a wine of rare liveliness and purity, free from heavy oak influence.

• Aromatics: Pristine red fruit (cherry, lingonberry), earthy graphite, and a gentle spice.
• Texture: Fleshy and deep, anchored by crunchy minerality and a long, refreshing finish.

Service & Food Matching

A true connoisseur's choice. Serve at cellar temperature (around 15°C) with classic French or British comfort food. This wine will evolve beautifully, becoming more complex and developing tertiary notes over the next decade.
