This is where Thomas' oldest and most celebrated vineyards reside, and as you'd expect with quality old-vine Morgon, where his most intensely structured Gamays are produced.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eComing from a composite blend of blocks within the excellent 'Les Charmes' climat, this is everything we love about Morgon and more. It's grown on shallow, sandy granite soils with naturally low nutrients. The vines average 50 years old, their deep roots drawing concentrated, richly flavoured fruit with real structure behind it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe approach in the winery is consistent with Thomas' other wines, save for a small amount of older oak to handle the more powerful fruit.  It's 90% destemmed, with 12 days of gentle maceration, then eight months in a combination of oak barrels (20%) and concrete tanks (80%). Precise, restrained winemaking again that lets the site do the talking.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eIt's a riot of red and purple fruits, with big florals, palate-coating texture and a rocky tannic structure that pulses through the wine. It's at once thought-provoking and totally smashable, and just a terrific example of this magnificent Cru.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThis is the one to tuck a few bottles into the cellar, but gee it goes good right out of the gate too.  World-class Beaujolais, as it's Best in Show Trophy at the Decanter Wine Awards suggests.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003e \u003cp\u003e\"There are always consumers with preconceived notions about Beaujolais wines, but today I take it as a game to convince them. I know our wines are appreciated, and I have confidence in their quality\"\u003cbr\u003e- Thomas Collogne (Domaine de Colonat owner\/winemaker)\u003c\/p\u003e \u003c\/blockquote\u003e \n","brand":"Domaine de Colonat","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43864050925611,"sku":"2023 Domaine de Colonat Morgon Les Charmes","price":49.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2572\/9722\/files\/2023DomainedeColonatMorgonLesCharmes.jpg?v=1789440226","url":"https:\/\/www.differentdrop.com\/products\/2023-domaine-de-colonat-morgon-les-charmes","provider":"Different Drop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
