DOMAINE ARNAUD AUCOEUR Vieilles Vignes, Morgon 2018 Bottle
About this wine
Domaine Arnaud Aucoeur Vieilles Vignes, Morgon
Old bush vines close to the Aucoeur hearth, this is the familial benchmark and arguably the finest cru of the 10 in Beaujolais. A terrain of schist and vertiginous slopes delivers exotic accents of Asian spice, violet and hoisin, coaxed into forest floor and earthen, almost truffled accents, with patience. Fuller of frame and more structured, this is a top-drawer Morgon with the bones to develop over a decade. Be sure to drink it from a Pinot Noir glass. Suckling writes of Morgon’s ‘reputation for power’. Here it is!

Arnaud Aucœur is the oldest family Domaine in the village of Morgon. Owner/Vignerons since 1825, the Vignoble Aucœur was established at Villié Morgon. Its Crus are planted to a dozen hectares of the most prestigious appellations of the region, including Morgon, Fleurie, and Moulin-à-Vent.
Production is done manually, with the traditions of the first generations of the Aucœur family being honoured. The passing down and inheritance of knowledge and experience is a fundamental value for the Aucœur family. To this end and the perpetuation of the family legacy, Arnaud Aucœur (2020 Beaujolais Winemaker of the Year, Guide Hachette) makes some of his wines, including the Moulin-à-Vent, in wooden containers. Barrels, tons and semi-casks are housed on the farm. Morgon, Fleurie, Moulin-à-Vent, Brouilly, Saint-Amour, Chiroubles, Régnié, Juliénas, Chénas, Beaujolais Villages, or Beaujolais–their wines are all raised, vinified and packaged according to particular emotional and technical conditions of their Domaine. The wines are fruity and distinct, Jancis Robinson MW described the 2018 vintage of the old vine Villages as '...gorgeously voluptuous.'
