Description

This Morgon from Thibault Ducroux is quite likely the finest wine produced by this very young winemaker. Inspired by the style of Jules Chauvet, he produces a remarkable organic and natural wine. The magnificent ruby-red colour sets the tone. The very classic bouquet oscillates between morello cherry, redcurrant and violet. The attack is clean, the palate just full-bodied, the tannins silky, the structure precise. Splendid!
