Villié-Morgon, Beaujolais, France

AOC

Home of the Côte du Py

Appellation: Morgon
Grapes: Gamay

Morgon is the second-largest Beaujolais cru, centred on Villié-Morgon and the Côte du Py hill of decomposed schist. Locals say a mature Morgon starts to "morgonner", taking on a depth that recalls Burgundy. It is home to the natural wine pioneers nicknamed the Gang of Four, led by Marcel Lapierre.
