If you have access to the limited production 1992 Morgon-Domaine Jean Descombes, this is a powerhouse Beaujolais, with a dense purple color, a huge nose of kirsch and flowers. Made from old vines, this deep, unctuous, exotic, super-concentrated, velvety-textured Morgon is considered by many to be the Petrus of Beaujolais. While the 1992 is not likely to make old bones, it will drink magnificently for another 2-3 years.Duboeuf's new releases, which are now appearing, are the 1992s. On paper, 1992 is inferior to 1991. But Duboeuf's stricter selection process, combined with lower prices have made his wines winners again! If retailers, restaurants, and wine writers want to increase consumption of wine in America, one of the best places to start is to encourage consumption of Duboeuf's wines. For the level of quality and pleasure they provide, they are not just good values, they are cheap! Importers: William Deutsch and Sons, Chappaqua, NY and Wine Sellers, Skokie, IL.

Smooth and definitely floral, austere, with a spicy, flowery edge to the modest cherry aromas and flavors. Drink now.??–HS??Region: France / Beaujolais / Morgon Select to Add
