Beaujolais has bounced back, thanks in large part to the quality of the top wines from its 10 ‘Crus’, such as Morgon, which tend to be rather more serious. Offering inviting granite freshness on the nose, the palate has brooding black cherry and blackberry character with a cool crunch to the fruit, notes of charcuterie, supported by vibrant cranberry acidity. After 20 minutes in the fridge, a perfect summer red for a meaty pasta supper.
