“Named Winemaker of the Year in the 2023 Guide, Franck Chavy has earned yet another ‘ Favorite ’ award, following the one he received for his 2020 Les Granites Roses. The award-winning wine is the no-added-sulfites version of his Morgon, made from approximately 70-year-old vines grown on 1 hectare of granitic soil. A complex and distinguished wine that evokes kirsch, humus, and floral notes on the nose. This complexity and elegance carry over to a full-bodied, rich, and dense palate, supported by a lively acidity that extends the finish and adds to its dynamism and balance. Unbeatable.” (Le Guide Hachette 2026)

About the wine:
Named “Winemaker of the Year” in the 2023 Guide, Franck Chavy has earned yet another “ Favorite ” award, following the one he received for his 2020 Les Granites Roses. This award goes to the version of his Morgon made without added sulfites, crafted from approximately 70-year-old vines grown on 1 hectare of granitic soil. A complex and distinguished wine that evokes kirsch, humus, and floral notes on the nose. This complexity and elegance carry over to a full-bodied, rich, and dense palate, supported by a lively acidity that extends the finish and adds to its dynamism and balance. Unbeatable.
About the estate:
The son and grandson of winemakers, Franck Chavy settled in 1991 on a few hectares of Morgon. Through acquisitions and sharecropping arrangements, he has expanded his estate, which now spans 9.5 hectares, while establishing himself in the Guide, where he is considered a sure bet. This track record is undoubtedly due in part to his high-density vineyard plantings (10,000 vines per hectare) and extended maceration periods.
