DOMAINE CALOT : Our Production

LE ROSE DU DOMAINE CALOT :

It is the festive local wine of the domain. Round, fruity and aromatic wine. Wine making with low temperature. Advised in any occasions and to sample freshly.

MORGON Cuvée "TRADITION"

Wine stemming from an assembly of about 50 % of my harvest with characters of very ripe red fruits and pits soaked with an animal note. It's reflected completely, as its name indicates it, a traditional Morgon.

What They think about it.

Cuisine et Vins de France 1997 : This Tradition 96 is the opening of a series of four vintages which rise crescendo in the concentration. This Morgon is soft so most of the family and samples with happiness from today. It delivers without restraint of the aromas of cherry, quetsche, a round and fine mouth, without clash or sewing. A smooth wine which will warm the autumn.

MORGON "TETE DE CUVEE"

In our regional vocabulary, Tête de Cuvée, means the most particular vintage, the one that packs the major part of the tasters. I defined this wine as being elegant, flattering, feminine, aromatic with the power and of the matter.

One spoke about it.

GaultMillau 2000: Garnet; still reduced, wild nose; powerful mouth in the persevering fruit, the beautiful wine of future.

La Revue du vin de France 1999 : This Tête de Cuvée 97 has an élégance nose, floral and fruity. The mouth turns out long, structured, and almost "virile". It is necessary to wait for it even some months before sampling it.

"MORGON Cuvée VIEILLES VIGNES"

Wine was complicated with powerful tannins but melted in dominance of very ripe red fruits (black cherry), red colour sinks, converted into wine by long maceration with low temperature. Selection of 4 from 60 to 100 years old plots.

What we said?

La Revue du vin de France 2002 : The Cuvée Vieille Vigne présents a beautiful texture.

La Revue du vin de France 1997 : A Cru of Beaujolais which presents a good concentrated matter and a beautiful rétro olfaction.

Cuisine et Terroirs 2000 : Morgons filled enough with fruit and rich in matter to make the unanimity. One finds even it in Alsace in Antoine Westermann's cellar!

MORGON Cuvée "JEANNE"

Vintage made in memory of our Mother and with one plot, usually offers characters of fresh fruits, silky, rich and ample wine. Wine making with very ripe grapes.

Good news?...

Cuisine et Vins de France 1997 : A small jewel this Cuvée Jeanne. The dress ruby, deep, brilliant is a first sign. Pure red fruits flavours, with a tone of toast, bring some additional information. The ample, silky, round texture, allying delicacy and softness allows to end in beauty. A magnificent wine, carafer just before serving it on a red meat.
