Maison L'Envoye 'Cote Du Py' Gamay, Morgon, Burgundy, France

Wine Description:

The winemakers had this to say about this exciting Gamay from Morgon Cru in Burgundy: While some 44,000 acres of densely-planted Gamay Noir produce a swath of quaffable Beaujolais annually, devotees hold that Cru Beaujolais is where it's at. Morgon, one of these ten Crus, comprises 2,750 acres of individually-staked gobelet vines on manganese and iron-rich, schist soils. The famed Cote du Py, considered most representative of the Morgon Cru, sits at the highest point in Morgon atop an extinct volcano where hard, black soils produce complex, structured, age-worthy reds.
