Jean-Marc Burgaud Morgon Les Charmes 2009

We had this next to a SA Shiraz that had received good reviews by the wine press. Think 94+ Winefront and Halliday so i thought it was going to be tough going.  It was like watching WWF smack down but it was the medium bodied Beaujolias that took out the fight. 


Jean-Marc Burgaud Morgon Les Charmes 2009

This was open for 8 hours before I even attempted to assess it, and it still needed another hour in the glass before it showed its stuff.  I guess its like an athlete doing a slow jog and some dynamic stretches before the main game starts.  Very smart of the Beaujolias!  You wouldn't want it to pull a calf muscle before it opens up. The pervasive tannins envelope my mouth and perfectly cut through the food.  There is a little earthy plum, violets and summer flowers all wrapped in rusty spice.  At the moment this wine is imminently drinkable yet tight like a tiger.
