Description

Jean-Paul Dubost Morgon 'La Ballofiere' 2023Ballofire is a high altitude parcel for Morgon, situated at 350 370 meters with a west to south exposure and consisting of poor, schistous soil with a small amount of sand. Following a semi carbonic maceration, Dubost incorporates 15% used demi muids into the levage here, with the balance done in tank. The pulpy, gently tannic palate offers darkly spiced fruit and a firm sense of minerality.

Always a standout in Chezeaux’s cellar

The result is a powerful yet elegant wine of great breed

wines are rotated into barrel for an élevage of 18 months

Half of their holding is a younger parcel

It is aged for two full years in one-third new oak barrels

this presents a stonier sense of minerality

This wine is marked by a richly spicy nose with hints of tobacco and coffee in the background

with vines planted in 1960

“Oracan” offers a gentle handshake of tannins underneath a layer of cleanly articulated pit fruits and spices

5 hectare in size and sits on a hillside between Saint Aubin and Gamay with an east-southeast exposure
