Tasting note

The 2018 Morgon Centenaire comes from Thevenet's prized oldest vines, over a century old. It had a slightly longer maceration and ageing in demi-muids. A beautifully defined nose brings dark berry fruit, bay leaf, and touches of dark chocolate. The palate is medium-bodied, clean and precise with fine-grained tannins. Again dark chocolate touches complement the red berry fruit with a hint of licorice on the finish. Superb. Just 1,000-odd bottles produced.
