Jean Pierre Large “Les Delys" Morgon 2022

Alcohol: 12.5%

Grape(s): Gamay

Localization: Morgon, Beaujolais, France

Tasting notes: Jean-Pierre’s style is aromatic – he goes for fruit and freshness, no excess tannins – in this 100% Gamay wine. Enhanced by the age of the vines and the depth of the vineyard soil, Jean-Pierre’s Morgon boasts darker, more robust flavors than your typical Beaujolais Cru, and some find it has Pinot Noir-esque depth and complexity. It’s fleshy with a fullness in the mouth.

The Domain: bout The Producer Winemaker Jean-Pierre Large is the Beaujolais Cru-master behind the exceptional (and perennially popular) Domaine Cheysson Chiroubles, which we have imported for more than 15 years. The Morgon comes from JeanPierre Large's grandfather. These old vines contribute even greater richness and complexity to this wine. Les Délys is the same fabulous wine we've been importing for many years - it just has a new look to feature the name of JeanPierre Large's property that pays homage to the birthplace of his family. His grandfather called this place "Les Délys," said to be "the cradle of his family," where they lived for 200+ years. It is in the commune of Villié Morgon, where Jean-Pierre's father was born.
