2023 Vignobles Bodillard Morgon Corcelette Cuvee Alexia

The 2023 Vignobles Bodillard Morgon Corcelette “Cuvée Alexia” is a refined, terroir-focused Gamay from the Corcelette lieu-dit, one of Morgon’s most elevated and mineral-driven sectors. Produced by Vignobles Bodillard, this cuvée draws from granite-rich soils that emphasize freshness, aromatic lift, and structural precision. Careful vineyard work and gentle vinification aim to preserve purity of fruit and site expression rather than power. Compared to more muscular Morgon bottlings, Corcelette delivers elegance and tension, qualities that are fully on display here. The 2023 vintage highlights clarity, balance, and drinkability while retaining Morgon’s signature depth. This is a serious yet graceful Beaujolais with both immediate appeal and short-term aging potential.

Nose: Black raspberry, wild blackberry, and violet lifted by spicy peppercorn and cool granite.

Palate: Juicy dark fruit glides across velvety tannins, with hints of clove, licorice, and mineral lift.

Finish: Medium-long, dry close with lingering red berries, subtle spice, and slate-driven freshness.

Excellent with roasted pork tenderloin, herb-scented mushroom ragout, or aged Comté and charcuterie—its vibrant fruit and mineral backbone sharpen savory, earthy flavors while keeping every bite graceful and balanced.
