Berne Morgon 2024

Frederic Berne from Lantignié makes delicious, eminently drinkable wine. He has almost singlehandedly brought the Lantignié appellation to the brink of cru status, and the care he takes with his land and vines shows through in every glass.

Berne’s cru Beaujolais Morgon 2024 is more serious: smoother, richer, and showing greater length across the palate. The nose shows granite and honeyed sweet red fruit; the mouth is crackling and pretty but with good intensity and a clean, pleasing finish. With more going on at every point, it’s a wine to contemplate over, say, a grilled filet of salmon.
