Morgon "Les Charmes"

Presentation

Presentation
Located west of the hamlet of Morgon, in the southernmost part of the appellation, the vines are planted on southeast-facing gentle slopes, at altitudes of between 350 and 400 metres.
The pebbly soil that has been heavily eroded lends our Morgon "Les Charmes" fleshy fruit and remarkable finesse.
