Tasting Notes
The Château des Jacques 2018 Morgon Corcelette greets the nose with an enticing bouquet of chocolate-coated cherries, raspberries, and mulberries, subtly underscored by crushed herbs and earthy notes of underbrush. On the palate, it showcases a structured, linear profile, with dense fruit on the finish and chewy, dusty tannins that provide the wine with power and depth. The lack of heavy carbonic maceration allows for a more traditional fermentation on skins, contributing to the wine’s bold, robust nature. While it offers immediate enjoyment, this Morgon will cellar beautifully for 2 to 3 years, making it an ideal pairing with rich dishes such as duck. Its long, persistent finish lingers, leaving a lasting impression of complexity and elegance.
