Our Price
Within the cru of Morgon, south-facing Les Charmes rests on schisty iron oxide and manganese sediments ideal for cultivating Gamay grapes. The 2020 Annick Bachelet bottling draws upon vines averaging fifty years old to showcase a deeply hued red wine defined by ripe plum, black cherry, violet, lavender, and crushed rock minerality. A lush and finely grained mouthfeel makes this fruit-driven Beaujolais even more pleasurable, especially for under $15 each and with free shipping on four!

This rich, structured wine comes from one of the top sectors in Morgon. The density, with full-bodied black fruits sustained by acidity, mean this wine needs to age. Drink from 2023.
