Morgon Les Charmes, produced from a single one-hectare plot in the hamlet of "Les Charmes" at an altitude of 350 meters, on granite soil, is a fairly powerful, intense wine with spicy notes and good structure on the palate, as well as supple, rounded tannins. A Morgon with character!

Bettane & Desseauve
Rated wine (2016 guide) 14/20 (2013 vintage) (Good wine)
Rated estate (2023 guide): 3 stars (High-quality production, setting the standard in its sector)
About the estate:
After earning his degree in viticulture and oenology, Jean-Marc Burgaud settled in Morgon on the Côte de Py in 1989. Today he owns 17 hectares across four appellations: Beaujolais-Villages red and white, Régnié, and Morgon, with the latter accounting for 11.80 hectares. Jean-Marc Burgaud is a discreet winemaker, but one need only mention his name in the vineyards to quickly realize that his reputation precedes him.

Wine rated (2015 guide) 91/100 (2013 vintage) (An outstanding wine)
Rated estate (2022 guide) Recommended (Wine producer recommended by Robert Parker - The Wine Advocate)
About the estate:
For several years running, I have observed that Jean-Marc Burgaud is a winemaker at the top of his game, and the success with which he has risen to the challenges of the 2021 vintage is further proof of this. These are some of the most delicious wines produced in the region today, and they are all the better for the fact that Burgaud has abandoned new oak in favor of dry wood and is pursuing a gentler extraction than in the past, with his semi-classical method—carbonic macerations lasting 7 to 15 days depending on the cuvée. And there is only a single bottling of each wine, which results in a rare consistency, even across his 4.3 hectares in Beaujolais-Lantignié (one of the region’s best values, by the way).

Rated wine (2016 guide) 15/20 (2013 vintage) (Good wine)
Rated Estate (2023 Guide) 2*Stars (These exceptional estates, often boasting fabulous terroirs, are must-haves that, thanks to the consistency and excellence of their wines, deserve a place in the cellars of discerning wine lovers)
About the estate:
Since founding his estate in 1989, Jean-Marc Burgaud has become a staple in our guide. From his Burgundian apprenticeship, he has adopted the practice of producing single-vineyard cuvées, aging that sometimes extends over two winters, and destemming tailored to the vintage and the wine. His winemaking always lends a velvety character to the Gamay, shaped by barrel aging (very little new oak) tailored to each vineyard (the majority of which are located on various terroirs in Morgon). He also produces Régnié and Beaujolais-Villages on the granitic soils of Lantignié. The style has opened up over time, without losing sight of the expression of the terroir.

I opened a bottle in 2020 just to see how it was: the wine hadn’t changed. No development; still fruity and slightly spicy. Best enjoyed soon.

A beautiful ruby red color, a delicate nose of red berries, and a palate that follows suit, with lovely balance and nice acidity... A truly fine wine that embodies the appellation!
