AOC Morgon

With its 1,100 hectares, the Morgon AOC is the cru of the Beaujolais region, the largest after Brouilly. Mont du Py stands at the summit of this appellation, which offers wines with "the fruit of a Beaujolais and the charm of a Burgundy" as is often said here. Grown on granite and schist soils, the vines are mostly planted around 300m altitude, which likely allows for the production of the Gamay grapes that are the most powerful and with the greatest aging potential in the region.
