A concentrated yet fleshy Morgon from this pioneer of traditional, natural winemaking. The 50-year-old vines come from 5ha, and following fermentation the wine is aged for six months in barrels from none other than Domaine de la Romanée-Conti. The palate is tangy and meaty, with some spicy notes and a streak of wood. It's balanced by good acidity and finishes long.
