Les Delys is a particular lieu-dit situated on the best slopes of Morgon, and where winemaker Jean-Pierre describes as the cradle of his family. His grandfather and father were born here and 30% of the vines growing here were also planted by his grandfather, making them over 120 years old. Production is traditional, 25 – 50% of the bunches are de-stemmed depending on the year and then semi-carbonic maceration takes place and lasts 12 days. The wines then age in tank for 6 months before bottling.
Full of perfumed blackberries and macerated strawberries, this is an aromatic, medium bodied, complete wine with silky tannins and a flavoursome finish. Crunchy and fresh and quite delicious. Great with roast chicken, new potatoes and asparagus and also, worked well with a meaty fish fillet and chips ! Best served cool.
