Soil-driven, ethereal Morgon from one of the Beaujolais natural scene's quiet purists. Michel Guignier is a fourth-generation vigneron in Villié-Morgon who farms organically and biodynamically, picking 60-year-old Gamay vines from prime spots that include the bottom of Côte du Py, La Roche Pilée and Les Grands Cras. The 2024 Morgon Vieilles Vignes sees a short semi-carbonic maceration, no additions, and élevage in tank on the lees, so each parcel keeps its voice. The result is transparent and joyful: fragrant red fruit, granitic minerality, an earthy sous-bois undertow, and the kind of elegance you'd hope for from old-vine Gamay on schistous slopes. Light on its feet, deeply Morgon — drink with a faint chill and slightly too much food.

More about Michel Guignier

Michel Guignier is a fourth-generation vigneron in Morgon who refuses almost every shortcut: no added sulfites, no filtration, no new oak. He's carried the torch of the Gang of Four—Morgon's natural wine pioneers—by working 70-year-old Dolcetto vines and fermenting with only indigenous yeast. His Beaujolais tastes alive.

Flatiron's Take

From the Importer

What Polaner Selections has to say about this wine:

Vineyard

4 hectares, of which half a hectare is under conversion to organic vinegrowing. In the heart of the Morgon appellation area, incuding the vineyards of La Roche Pilee, the bottom of La Cote du Py, and Les Grand Cras.

Orientation

South facing with a slight slope.

Soil

Decomposed granite and crumbly schist referred to regionally as "rotten rock"

Viticulture

60 yr old vines with very low yields. Extensive pruning to further limit the yield. All bunches picked by hand and then very carefully sorted to retain only the fully ripened whole bunches.

Vinification

Semi carbonic maceration for up to 10 days. Each terroir is vinified separately.

Aging

Aged in vats on the lees

Tasting Notes & Food Pairings

Perfect Pairings

The Lyonnaise bistro hit list: roast chicken, coq au vin, charcuterie boards, pork rillettes, duck confit. Equally at home with burgers, mushroom pizza or a wedge of Saint-Marcellin. Lightly chilled.

Tasting Profile

Red cherry, raspberry and crushed violet meet wet stone, granite and earthy sous-bois. Light- to medium-bodied, juicy and transparent, with fine acidity, soil-driven texture and a savory close.
