Guy Breton is one of the original figures of Beaujolais’ natural wine movement, known for producing wines that are expressive, pure, and deeply tied to their sites. His Morgon Vieilles Vignes comes from old Gamay vines rooted in decomposed granite soils, a hallmark of the appellation that gives the wine it’s character. The low-intervention style of farming emphasizes vine health and balanced yields.
The 2022 vintage is generous and composed, opening with dark cherry, plum, and blackberry layered with subtle spice and a savory, mineral undertone. The palate is supple and well-defined, carried by fresh acidity and fine, structured tannins that reflect Morgon’s ability to produce serious wines. The finish is persistent and grounded, showing the aging potential that old-vine Morgon is known for. Approachable now with a short decant, but equally well-suited to short-term cellaring.
Varietal: Gamay
Appellation: Morgon, Beaujolais, France
Farming: Sustainably farmed. Low-intervention
Style: Red. Juicy, structured, and site-driven
