Reviewer WK highlights the wine's complexity, noting, "Notions of cherries, berry compote, sweet soil tones and smoke introduce the 2020 Morgon, a medium to full-bodied, rich and fleshy wine with lively acids, melting tannins and a saline finish." The review emphasizes the wine’s balanced profile, attributing its charming character largely to the Corcelette vineyard.
