Domaine Jean Foillard Morgon Classique, Beaujolais, France 2009

The Morgon is fabulously pure, an unfiltered, unfined, unsulphured turbid Gamay and has something of the quality that Keats described as 'cool-root'd flowers'. The colour is on the dark side of cloudy ruby red, whilst aromas boom happily out of the glass, notably kirsch, rhubarb and sweet blackberries; there's a more fugitive bouquet of warm earth, stones and dried spice evolving into dark chocolate and cinnamon.
