Morgon is the largest and most famous cru in Beaujolais, partly because it is the home of the pioneers of the natural wine movement, such as Jean Foillard. The cru is divided into climats (such as the revered Côte du Py) that group together lieux-dits with similar soil types.
As the largest cru in Beaujolais, it boasts a great diversity in styles. The wines lean towards robust and powerful, offering density and structure rivaled only by Moulin-a-Vent. The secret is in the soil, affectionately known as “rotten rock” – it’s a combination of decayed granite and schist with pockets of volcanic rock and iron-rich clay, that impart the signature depth and richness. Keep in mind that given the diversity of soil types and winemakers, there are plenty of exceptions.
