| Morgon ~ Côte du Py |
| situation |
The vine parcels are planted at altitudes that vary between 220 and 520 metres and face east and south. The vines entitled to the Morgon appellation are all situated at Villié-Morgon, and make up to 60 per cent of the municipality’s total surface area that is to say 90 per cent of the surface area planted in vines.
Trénel selects the grapes that go into this cuvee from the terroir known as “Cote de Py” in the hamlet of Morgon, a small, perfectly rounded hill 300 metres above sea level. This is a very sunny site facing east and southeast. |
| tasting |
| Deep garnet in colour, this wine offers a sustained, complex nose of stone fruit combined with mineral notes. The highly vibrant palate has a sound underlying structure which is powerful yet velvety, thanks to tannins which, despite mellowing, are still very perceptible. This is a stylish wine bearing the hallmarks of its terroir and will make fine drinking over the next two to five years. |
| HOW TO DRINK AND SERVE |
| When average wine temperature is around 15° C (60° F)It goes nicely with meat in sauce, game, and cheese. |
