“A wine as beautiful as the ‘Côte’!”

“Named Beaujolais Winemaker of the Year in the 2023 edition of the Guide, Franck Chavy has once again delivered. Here, he presents a harmonious cuvée that is also powerful and long on the palate. Careful winemaking has tamed the exuberance of the 2022 vintage to produce a Morgon with excellent aging potential. ” (Le Guide Hachette des Vins 2024)

About the wine:

Named Beaujolais Winemaker of the Year in the 2023 edition of the Guide, Franck Chavy has once again delivered. Here, he presents a harmonious cuvée that is also powerful and long on the palate. Careful winemaking has tamed the exuberance of the 2022 vintage, resulting in a Morgon with excellent aging potential.

About the estate:

The son and grandson of winemakers, Franck Chavy settled in 1991 on a few hectares of Morgon. Through purchases and sharecropping arrangements, he has expanded his estate, which now covers 9.5 hectares, while establishing himself in the Guide, where he is a sure bet. This success is undoubtedly due in part to high-density planting (10,000 vines per hectare) and extended maceration.
