What it pairs with
-
Gigot d'agneau rôti à l'ail
Iron-mineral, structured Morgon is a natural companion for slow-roasted leg of lamb. -
Cèpes à la bordelaise
The wine's earthy mineral notes find a match in porcini mushrooms with parsley and garlic. -
Langres affiné
Washed-rind Langres cheese's pungency meets its match in structured Morgon.
History
Les Charmes is one of the Château des Jacques single-climat Morgon cuvées developed by Louis Jadot after the 1996 acquisition, applying Burgundian single-vineyard philosophy to Beaujolais for the first time at this scale.
