DESCRIPTION

"Cuvée Les Roches" from Château du Châtelard offers a structured and expressive interpretation of Morgon, one of Beaujolais' most characterful crus. The wine opens with ripe red and dark fruit, supported by subtle floral notes and a touch of spice. On the palate, it is smooth and layered, with fine tannins and balanced acidity lending depth and freshness. A gentle mineral edge, shaped by granitic soils, adds definition and length. Harmonious and refined, this cuvée offers both immediate pleasure and the capacity to evolve gracefully with a few years of cellaring.

EYE

Deep ruby with luminous reflections suggesting freshness and concentration, while the clarity in the glass reflects careful élevage and well-preserved aromatic definition.

NOSE

Aromas of black cherry, raspberry, and plum develop alongside hints of violet and soft spice, with a subtle mineral undertone evoking the granitic soils of Morgon.

MOUTH

On the palate, the wine is smooth and well-structured, with fine tannins supporting ripe fruit. Fresh acidity maintains lift and balance, leading to a persistent finish marked by elegance and depth.

PAIRING

Pairs beautifully with roasted poultry, grilled meats, charcuterie, mushroom dishes, or aged cheeses. Its combination of freshness, texture, and finesse makes it versatile for both casual meals and refined dining.

Beaujolais

The Beaujolais is a small region of Eastern France just south of Burgundy-Mâconnais and North of Lyon city. The red and rosé wines are made mostly from gamay grapes with vibrant and fruity taste profiles. A little amount of Beaujolais white is also made from the Chardonnay grape. The particularity of the Beaujolais reds, is the fermentation with whole clusters, so called "carbonic maceration" which accentuates the fruitiness of the gamay grape and results in lighter alcohol wines, easier to drink. The region is famous for its "Beaujolais nouveau", which are youthful red wines made on the same year as the harvest occurs. The region is also known for its prestigious 10 villages which are known as crus and showcase different tasting profiles and age-worthy potential.
