Vignobles Bodillard - Morgon - L'Auguste X 2014

IN ORGANIC CONVERSION

Key words: Power / Guard / Unique

The wine: An exceptional cuvée ! This Morgon has spent 36 months in oak barrels (!) and delights us with its power and aromatic depth. A unique wine from hundred-year-old vines (planted in 1902 and 1908) and which presents itself as a real UFO of the region. Simply superb in complexity, length and capable of (very) long aging! In short, a great Gamay.

The estate: Winemaker for 7 generations, the Bodillard family now has 14 hectares spread over 7 municipalities between Beaujolais and Mâconnais. Some cuvées are already certified in Organic Farming and all will be in the years to come. The diversity of the plots allows the estate to cover a wide variety of soils (granitic sands, shale etc.) and therefore to produce wines with varied characters. The plots are 95% oriented to the south and the vinification on the reds is Beaujolaise (carbonic maceration) to bring out a bright fruit. Renaud Bodillard offers cuvées with simple and drinkable fruit but also deep and complex wines capable of keeping for several years, even decades, in the cellar.
