Grand Cras

2012 Morgon Gamay Noir

The Laurent Gauthier Grand Cras from the Morgon region is a delightful expression of Gamay Noir that captivates the senses with its vibrant red color. This wine showcases a medium body, offering a smooth, well-rounded mouthfeel that is both inviting and satisfying. The acidity is bright, lending a refreshing quality that enhances its overall liveliness. On the palate, the fruit intensity is prominent, featuring enticing notes of cherry and raspberry, complemented by subtle hints of earthiness typical of the Morgon terroir. Tannins are medium and well-integrated, providing structure without overwhelming the wine's fresh character. As a dry wine, it delivers a clean finish, making it a versatile choice to pair with a variety of dishes or simply to enjoy on its own.

France

While it was not the first country to master winemaking, no other country has determined the course of wine and wine culture as much as France. From the sparkling wines of Champagne to the Pinot Noir and Chardonnay of Burgundy; from Bordeaux's sumptuous blends to Alsace's Riesling; and from the Loire Valley's Sauvignon Blancs to exciting new regions like Pays d'Oc in the south, France has given the world nearly all the major styles and grape varieties that dominate what we drink today. There are numerous reasons why France and wine are so inextricably linked, but perhaps the foremost is geography. Few places can rival France's unique array of hot and cool-climate regions and the abundant maritime influences and mountainous terrain found throughout the country.
