Bold, structured black cherry that goes on and on and on... Killer, well-made Morgon from a world famous vineyard.

"L’oiseau de Passage is the brainchild of Julien Frappa, a committed organic vigneron and micro garagiste working in some of the most respected crus and terroirs of Beaujolais. Julien was a part-time winemaker until recently, also holding down a job at a Lyon museum while working with friends and mentors across Beaujolais to learn the natural farming techniques and cellar practices that make his wines a superb addition to the portfolio. 

"Julien works solely with Gamay, not unusual in Beaujolais, where the vast majority of vineyards are planted to the grape. In the crus of Régnié, Morgon, and Cote du Brouilly, in high altitude, granitic soils, Julien’s wines show both power and finesse."
