Morgon Prestige 2005
Didier Desvignes is another grower who believes that great wines are produced from healthy and mature grapes. His main aim, therefore, is to reduce the vigour of the vine, treat each parcel of vines according to its needs and practise a strict green harvest. Manual harvest and selection allied to a respect for the equilibrium of the vines and the soil by treatment with organic manures creates wines, which express a balance between the aromatic richness of the grape variety and natural sugars and acidity. Traditional vinification techniques reflect the quality and character of the each parcel of grapes. For this Morgon, greater extraction of material gives greater weight, intensity and capacity. This wine comes from a single vineyard with exceptional terroir and is ample and balanced with robust cherry and apricot fruit. This wine will will 'morgonne', as the French would say, in other words, develop slowly and uniquely, eventually taking on the characteristics and qualities of a red Burgundy. The vines grow on shale with deposits of ferrous oxide and manganese sometimes called terre pourrie or rotten soil. The resultant wines exhibit aromas of kirsch and fruit eaux de vie as well as subtler mineral characteristics inherited from the schistous terroir. Another coup de coeur for this top grower.
