Semi-carbonic maceration takes place, lasting between 10 to 12 days, with fermentation following, conducted at low temperatures in stainless steel tanks.
Interesting Facts

The science of wine is not opposed to assuming an occasional air of mystery. Morgon takes its name from a hamlet whose vinous reputation caused it to be added to that actual village, Villié, so much so that the original name has been forgotten. Its producers love to praise Morgon as “the fruit of Beaujolais, the charm of Burgundy. ” the renowned climate of Le Py helps perfect wines that best reflect the special personality of a true Morgon.
