Red Burgundy

1999 Morgon Gamay Noir

Potel-Aviron Red Burgundy is a delightful expression of Gamay Noir from the esteemed Morgon region, showcasing its characteristic vibrant red hue. The wine emanates a bright bouquet of red berries, particularly cherry and raspberry, harmoniously intertwined with subtle earthy undertones. On the palate, it is medium-bodied and well-structured, presenting balanced acidity that adds a refreshing quality to the experience. The tannins are soft and approachable, contributing to a smooth mouthfeel that invites further exploration. This red wine is crafted in a dry style, making it an impeccable choice for food pairings, particularly with roasted poultry or a savory charcuterie board. The 1999 vintage stands out as a testament to the exceptional terroir of Morgon, offering a captivating taste of the region’s unique winemaking heritage.

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.
