Manuel Girard, Morgon 'Psychedelique' 2023
Place: Beaujolais, France
Grape: Gamay
Vibe: Tonic
The majority of fruit comes from a small plot immediately outside the cellar in Morgon, spitting distance from the vineyards and cellars of a certain Lapierre. Enviable locale. Earthen, and showing a bit of trademark blood and iron. Drinks very well, in a classic style, a harp back to the years before everything got super ripe. It feels lean and ultra digestible yet generous and expansive all at once. There's precision too, we're onto a winner. ABV: 12%
