"This remarkable Morgon has the concentration, power and finesse of a top Grand Cru from the Cote de Nuits!"
- Stuart Pigott (JamesSuckling.com)

One day in 2010 a friend of Parisian restauranteur Patrice du Jeu called him with an opportunity to resurrect a neglected vineyard in the charming village of Chassagne-Montrachet.

He jumped at the chance, packed his bags and ever since has lived his life in the pursuit of crafting incredible Burgundy and eventually Beaujolais.

Héritiers Saint-Genys' vineyards span across the renowned regions of Côte de Beaune, Côte Châlonnaise, and even extend into Beaujolais, encompassing both village appellation and premier cru terroirs.

This is his iconic Morgon En Ruyere, consistently one of the top-rated Beaujolais from this revered cru.

It's a stunning wine, powerful, complex and concentrated. It shows an elevated version of the Gamay grape taken to its highest heights.

Héritiers Saint-Genys

98 points - "Deep and mysterious, with aromas right across the dark side of the spectrum, from violets to forest berries via savory notes, this remarkable Morgon has the concentration, power and finesse of a top Grand Cru from the Cote de Nuits! An almost perfect marriage of fine tannins and richness right through the staggering finish. Enormous aging potential. Sustainable. Drink or hold." - Stuart Pigott (JamesSuckling.com)

Morgon - En Ruyère
Origin of the climate

Morgon wines draw their strength from the terroir of Villié-Morgon. This famous Beaujolais cru contains an exceptional power which releases its secrets after a few years. he is perhaps the most "Burgundian" of the Beaujolais vintages. Don't we say "The Charm of a Burgundy and the fruit of a Beaujolais".

Located to the west of the hamlet of Morgon, in the southernmost part of the appellation, the vineyard is on a gently sloping hillside, facing south-east, and at an altitude of between 350 and 400 meters. The soil, marked by erosion, very stony, gives Morgon "Les Charmes" the fleshy fruitiness of the great Beaujolais, and the rich and fine expression specific to Burgundy wines.

Average age of the vines: 50 years

Nature of soils: Stony soils of ancient alluvium
