The estate and the wine
The estate and the wine A rising star of the Beaujolais, Guénaël Jambon is part of the region’s remarkable revival.
In Morgon — birthplace of age-worthy reds — he crafts intense, deep, sapid wines. Here, Gamay finds a noble expression, rooted in hillsides of granite and schist from ancient volcanic rock, which lend the wines their complexity and mineral edge.
Wine A stunning expression of Gamay, the 2024 Red Morgon Côte du Py Réserve showcases rich, ripe fruit flavours—think dark cherry and plum—lifted by subtle peppery nuances. This is a pure, vibrant wine with fine-grained tannins, masterfully balanced in structure, power, and freshness, while maintaining a charmingly crisp, juicy character. A true favourite of our Selection Committee, awarded 93/100.
Vinification Hand harvested. Semi-carbonic maceration, 15 days in vats before pressing. Aged for 10 months, 80% in vats and 20% in oak barrels.
