Jean-Marc Burgaud Morgon ‘Ruyeres’ 2024

‘Ruyères’ (previously ‘Les Charmes’) is a lovely introduction to Jean-Marc’s Morgons. Sourced from old vines planted on granite soil, it is a wine defined by dark fruit notes, with lovely richness and tannic structure on a palate that finishes long and intense. Jean-Marc recently purchased a parcel of Morgon ‘La Roche’ (previously ‘Corcelette’) that was first planted in 1932, with further vines added in 1970. The resulting wine is supple and elegant due to its pink granite and stony soils.

“The 2024 Morgon Ruyère, hitherto “Les Charmes”, has a refined bouquet that offers a mixture of red and black fruit, with touches of damp loam underneath. The palate is medium-bodied with pliant tannins, well judged acidity, and appears to have gained more volume and flesh since I tasted it a year ago.” 91pts Neal Martin Vinous
