Morgon 2021
More vintage
Morgon is also famous for its intensive expression of terroir. The nose is smoky with aromas of ripe cherries evoking kirsch, accompanied by woody notes. The mouth feel is richly aromatic with fruity flavours. Morgon wines can be appreciated in their prime but also in their maturity, so, the 2021 vintage can wait!
