Morgon, Granitic 2020, Fabien Forest

Fabien Forest, known for his dedication to terroir and natural winemaking, aimed to capture the strength and depth of this unique soil layer with the "Granitic 2020." The Gamay grapes for this wine come from old vines with roots that have delved deep into the granite subsoil, giving the wine remarkable complexity and an intense, earthy character. The grapes are carefully hand-harvested, and Fabien employs a minimal intervention approach in the winery, allowing the natural yeasts of the grapes to work their magic.

The first aroma that greets you upon opening the bottle is that of ripe black cherries and plums, mingled with a subtle spiciness and an almost saline minerality. On the palate, the "Granitic 2020" reveals itself as powerful and structured, with layers of dark fruit and a profound, stony minerality that feels almost tangible. The wine has a fine, elegant tannin structure and a long, layered finish that transports you to the rugged, granite slopes of Morgon.

This wine is a pure expression of the strength of Gamay on granite soil: rich and sturdy, yet with a finesse that does justice to the grape. Fabien Forest's "Granitic 2020" is a wine that unveils a piece of its terroir with every sip, offering the drinker a true taste experience. Ideal to pair with dishes such as grilled duck, wild game stew, or a savory ratatouille, this wine calls for foods that can match its robust character.
