The story of a wine is often closely linked to that of a man. Jean Ernest DESCOMBES was a very popular figure in the Beaujolais, a jolly character, always ready for a celebration. He had managed to set up one of the finest Morgon estates and promoted the ‘Cru’ with great enthusiasm for thirty years. His welcoming cellars were visited by a large number of journalists and members of the wine trade, who came to taste his fine bottles. <\/p>\n
Today it is his daughter Nicole who has taken up the torch with a dynamism that would have made her father proud. Concerning him, she always says that wine always resembles the person who made it. <\/p>\n
An outstanding winegrower, Jean-Ernest DESCOMBES was also a gifted winemaker. His vines are planted in the best terroirs, notably that of the C\u00f4te du Py, a hill of eruptive origin : a local peculiarity that sits at the heart of the Morgon appellation. This very deep and well-draining soil allows the Gamay grapes to ripen and develop in ideal conditions.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
