Chateau de Pizay La Centenaire Morgon

That strawberry marmalade note really comes through on the nose, but the licorice and dark chocolate on the finish add so much weight you'd never guess it's a Gamay. It held up beautifully over two hours in the glass, which says a lot for a Beaujolais.

The depth from those centenary vines is incredible—the dark chocolate note really lingers on the finish. It’s richer and more structured than any Beaujolais I’ve tried before, perfect for a cozy evening with a hearty stew.

Bought this for a dinner party expecting the usual light Beaujolais, but the dark chocolate and licorice notes from those old vines gave it a serious depth that had everyone asking what it was. The strawberry marmalade flavor really lingers on the palate too, made it worth every penny.
