Domaine Jean Foillard Morgon Cuvee Corcelette 2023

Domaine Jean Foillard Morgon Cuvee Corcelette 202392 pts Vinous The 2023 Morgon Cuve Corcelette comes from well drained granite soils and is aged for nine months in used barrel. It has a perfumed bouquet of incense that blossoms with aeration, as touches of brown spice infuse the red fruit. The palate is medium bodied and transparent with finely chiseled tannins, exquisite balance and a dab of white pepper towards the sustained finish. This very classy Morgon is difficult to resist.
