Question about George Descombes Morgon

by ChaimShraga » Fri Oct 29, 2010 1:46 am

Hello all Beaujolais fans,

Is the Vieilles Vignes Morgon still bottled in a wax capsule? I picked up a bottle of the 2007 in Paris and there is no indication of it being V.V. or otherwise except for the back label that says: "notre cuvee vieilles vignes est issue des meilleurs raisins seigneuxment cueuillis a l main" which even my basic language skills in French inform me that the bottle contains a V.V. cuvee. Still, what gives?

And while I'm at it, does he have a Vieilles Vignes version of Brouilly? I bought a bottle of the 2007 that a totally different label than the 2008 plus the 2007 had a little wax seal and a warning on the back about storing under 14 degrees Celsius. I got the idea from other threads that the V.V. gets less sulphur so I thought that might be a clue.

I'm fairly sure he does have a Brouilly VV, as well as one from Regnie.

No idea about the wax. Hate the stuff anyway. It's a mess.

I've seen a Brouilly VV and if I remember correctly there is no indication of the VV status on the Morgon VV (except for that little sentence you found).
