Morgon
Morgon is located on the slopes of the Beaujolais hills. Beaujolais is a spectacular region, just south of Burgundy, and a region known for its Gamay-Noir based wines. Beaujolais wines are almost always produced from Gamay Noir, where small amounts of white wine may be added to enhance the structure or flavor. And within this region of the Beaujolais, there are several important appellations, which determine the different quality of Beaujolais wines you can expect. One of the most controversial and unique appellations within the Beaujolais is Morgon, which produces very different styles than the rest of the Beaujolais. This appellation is located on the western slopes of the river Saône, which plays a major role in the different characteristics that Morgon wines often have. The wines for Morgon are considered some of the highest quality in the region and are greatly appreciated by avid wine enthusiasts.
The most important thing to note about Morgon's wines is that they are among the styles of wines that only get better with age. These wines develop spectacular notes as they age – especially after 10 years. The region is fortunate to have heavy influences from the volcanic soil - similar to those found in the Sicily region. These wines from Morgon are known for immense structure and complexity - developing into a mature Pinot-Noir-like wine as it ages.
At Grandcruwijnen, we think it is important that people can find their preferred flavor. That is why we came up with the idea of the sample box. This does not just consist of a number of wines, but of themed wines specially selected by our vinologists. With the sample boxes you can try different wines and find your own taste.

All of our sample boxes have a number of things in common, mainly that they are all (international) class wines and that they are extra competitively priced. A document with all wine descriptions and a table for making tasting notes is added to each test box. What could be more fun than selecting your favorite wine in this way together with friends and / or family.
