Morgon Inspiration de Jean-Etienne

“Les Micouds” is the smallest terroir in Morgon in terms of surface area. It produces wines that combine fruitiness and suppleness. This cuvée displays a bright robe with garnet highlights. The nose reveals aromas of red and black fruits with a floral undertone. The palate is seductive and peppery, with vibrant juice and a luscious, fleshy character. The tannins are refined, the texture silky, and the finish lingers with freshness.
