So ripe and so graceful, this is a staggering wine for 2021 that shows what was possible if you had old vines, you did everything right in the vineyard during the growing season, and then you hit the ideal harvest date...

Wine Enthusiast,

Still young and bursting with red fruits, this wine comes from one of the top regions of Morgon. It is structured and will be well textured as it matures. Drink from 2025. — Roger Voss

Professional reviewers have given high praise to this wine, with James Suckling awarding it an impressive score of 96. Suckling describes the wine as "so ripe and so graceful," emphasizing that it is "a staggering wine for 2021 that shows what was possible if you had old vines, you did everything right in the vineyard during the growing season, and then you hit the ideal harvest date." He highlights the wine's balanced concentration and super-fine tannins, noting that the "stony minerality at the finish is off the scale." Suckling believes this wine has great aging potential, recommending it is drinkable now but will be best enjoyed from 2024.

Wine Enthusiast also provides a strong review, scoring the wine 92 points. The publication's reviewer, Roger Voss, notes that the wine is "still young and bursting with red fruits," acknowledging its origin from one of Morgon's top regions. Voss points out that the wine is "structured and will be well textured as it matures," suggesting it will be best to drink from 2025.

Both reviews point to the wine's potential for aging and development, indicating that while it is approachable now, it will continue to improve over the next few years. The 2021 Domaine Anita Morgon Chateau-Gaillard showcases the quality that can be achieved through meticulous vineyard management and optimal harvest timing, particularly in a challenging vintage like 2021. This wine offers a promising and enjoyable experience for those willing to wait for its full potential to be realized.
