Morgon Héritage, Domaine Jean-Marc Burgaud 2024
Red Wine from France - Beaujolais
A brand-new cuvée in the extraordinary range from Jean-Marc Burgaud, Heritage is a blend of now-declassified Côte du Py (around 0.5 hectares around the family’s house rather than on the hilltop itself) as well as some small lieux-dits in what was formerly the climat of Grand Cras. This is the first time Burgaud has blended gamay from blue schist (Côte du Py) with clay soils (Grand Cras). Smoky minerality, wild berries and tangy, sappy redcurrant fruit characterise this lithe and dynamic Morgon. The tannins are chalk-powdery, and the finish is long and peppery. An exciting debut vintage, of which only 6,000 bottles were produced

Domaine Jean-Marc Burgaud
Jean-Marc Burgaud is a top Beaujolais grower, claimed by many to be the best producer in Morgon.
Jean-Marc comes from a family of winemakers, and his own career in the industry began in 1989 after he completed a diploma in oenology. He now owns 19 hectares of vineyards in several appellations, comprising 13 hectares in Morgon where his estate is based, plus five hectares in the Beaujolais-Villages area and one hectare in Régnié.
His Régnié grapes are grown on 50-year-old vines in sandy, stony soil. Wines from Régnié – the youngest Beaujolais cru – are often supple, round, and fruity, and Burgaud calls his own example ‘feminine and cheerful.’
Harvesting is by hand, as it has been for generations, and tradition prevails in the winery too. Burgaud’s aim is always to illustrate his passion for winemaking in the most important place of all: the glass.
Perhaps most well-regarded are his two Morgons: the soft, refined Les Charmes and the more meatily-structured Cote du Py, both of which can benefit from time in the cellar.
