I've long loved Beaujolais, and particularly Morgon. I found this on the bottle list at Bar Parisette in Chicago this past weekend and was very excited.

This wine was absolutely thrilling, and in a real prime drinking spot right now. An unquestionably great vintage for the region, this wine was displaying vivid ripe fruit, petrichor and lively acidity. The finish was lengthy with a beguiling blend of subtle spice notes intermingled with floral tones.

For dinner I had coconut curry mussels that worked really well with the wine. A memorable wine, from one of the regions best winemakers. I'm very glad I've got a healthy amount of Beaujolais in my cellar, but I really wish I had a few more bottles of this.
