Gregoire Hoppenot Morgon Corcelette 2021 (6 Bottles) Beaujolais, France

Grégoire Hoppenot describes the workload required for his 0.7 hectares of 35-year-old vines in Morgon as “epic”. It’s a magnificent-looking site, steeply sloped (30% gradient) at almost 400m elevation with a south to southwest orientation. The soils are stony and shallow, with pieces of granite littered throughout. The vines are at a density of 10,000 plants per hectare, giving some indication of the challenge pickers face during harvest.
