Domaine Gaget 2 Items Follow

Domaine Gaget is located in Morgon, just south of the illustrious Fleurie in the beautiful Beaujolais region. There we find the very best vineyard of this appellation; the 'Côte du Py'. An old volcano that has been extinct for centuries and whose soil consists almost entirely of granite. In the middle of this famous 'Côte du Py' lie the vineyards of the Gaget family. They also own a plot on the 'Grands-Cras' vineyard. Before they decided to bottle independently in 1984, his (Gamay) grapes went to the large local cooperative, but because of the potential of his parcels, he decided to opt for the adventure. Well, they succeeded more than excellently. The wines of the Gaget family are an example of fine Morgon's. Father Maurice Gaget has since handed over the baton to his son Mikael at the old family business. He himself can usually be found in the vineyard, while son Mikael is involved in sales and vinification.
