In the last 20 years, Cru Beaujolais' rise in popularity includes the Morgon appellation gaining particular attention for its comparatively bold character. Jean-Pierre Large's ambition has nothing to do with trends, as his family has lived in 'les Delys' village for over 200 years. A glass of the 2021 vintage demonstrates his mastery of the Gamay variety, proffering plum paste aromas and complex blackberry and beetroot notes on the palate. Take this opportunity to try a versatile and authentically-constructed red at an unbeatable price!

Producer Notes
An inherited family estate located on the best Morgon hillsides in the hamlet of 'Les Delys.' This unique terroir and vines - some of which are over 100 years old - make rich and powerful wines with superb aromas of ripe cherries. Morgon wines can, at best, be kept for over 20 years. In doing so, they will develop excellent qualities.

JEAN-PIERRE LARGE MORGON LES DELYS 2021
Tuesday, April 12, 2022
Country: France
Region: Beaujolais
Vintage: 2021
Score: 93
Although this Morgon has just been bottled, its class really shines through. The impressive concentration, elegant acidity and fine tannins already mesh beautifully. Generous red-fruit character with delicate, autumnal and rooty overtones. Long, plush finish! Drink or hold.
