I am hoping all you wine lovers out there, in one time in your life have enjoyed the pleasures of Morgon. Made from the Gamay grape and from one of the prestigious ten crus of Beaujolais, this wine often goes unnoticed by most of the wine drinking world. Yet this is one of the most solid appellations in France and this is one of the most consistent estates. For decades, the Georges Duboeuf Morgon from the Jean-Ernest Descombes estate has been one of Duboeuf's top wines. The 2014 is true to form- serious, firm and still slightly playful. I'd certainly invite a pairing with a grilled steak. Deep dark ruby in color; aromas of bold, ripe fruit, playing between boysenberries and smashed black fruits; medium bodied, fulfilling on the palate, soft and nicely ripened tannins; dry, medium acidity, well balanced; dark fruits fill the palate; medium finish, firm aftertaste.

For over 40 years Georges Duboeuf has been the Beaujolais region's most renowned négociant and is today regarded in the wine world as the "King of Beaujolais." Born in 1933 in Pouilly-Fuissé, the son of a winegrower, Georges began selling his family's wines from the back of his bicycle to now-legendary local chefs such as Paul Bocuse and Paul Blanc. In 1964, Georges realized his dream and founded his own company: Les Vins Georges Duboeuf.
Over the years, Georges has developed long-standing relationships with the region's top growers and winemakers. Georges is involved in every aspect of his enterprise and is known for his passion and his legendary palate. In 2003, the Duboeuf family opened a new, modern winery in Romanéche-Thorins. The following year, the Duboeuf and Deutsch families jointly purchased Chateau des Capitans in Juliénas. With annual sales of 30 million bottles, Georges Duboeuf is one of the world's best-known French brands.
