The Morgon wine from Chateau de Corcelles

Morgon's story began in September 1936, when it officially acquired its appellation. From then on, this second-largest appellation was required to adhere to the rules. For example, only the Gamay grape is found around Mont du Puy, which forms Morgon's radiant, stately center. The terroir is unique, containing a lot of sandy slate, which clearly influences the wine. The Gamay grapes from Château de Corcelles Morgon are harvested manually by a group of 150 grape pickers. It's almost a privilege to be part of this team.

After vinification, a small portion of Château de Corcelles Morgon is aged in oak barrels to emphasize the complexity of this wine.
