In the glass
What it pairs with
-
Civet de lièvre
The dark intensity of hare stew is matched by aged Morgon's depth and structure. -
Rôti de gibier à plumes
Roasted game birds with feather-weight sauce need the backbone of old-vine Morgon. -
Fourme d'Ambert
Blue-veined Fourme d'Ambert's creamy intensity needs Morgon's firm tannin.
History
Château de Pizay's Vieilles Vignes Morgon selects the oldest Gamay vines on the estate, those planted more than 50 years ago on the deepest volcanic schist soils, for a richer and more structured expression.
