Supermarket Beaujolais Cru done well – Auchan’s Pierre Chanau Morgon 2016

Proper Morgon, dark and structured for a Beaujolais. Ripe, but cool climate is evident. Black cherries and a bit of that playful hibiscus and bubble gum action, just to complete typicity. Alcohol is lowish yet it’s almost full-bodied, structured and tannic – a nice example of the classic French red wine style, it’s so Old World. I wish for a bit more intensity, more aromas on the palate, though.

Rating: a good wine, 86 points.
Price: approx. 8 Euros in Hungary, a bit cheaper in France.
Value: OK. I would consider to buy it again.
Drinking window: now-2021
