Georges Duboeuf Domaine Mont Chavy 2014, Morgon, Beaujolais A.C., France: Franck and Cyrille Chavy are fourth-generation winemakers on this Morgon grand cru estate in Beaujolais, with their father Henri. The vines are planted in the "charmes" and "corcelette" climats. The wine undergoes a 6-12 day maceration to increase the intensity and complexity of flavour. Juicy and mouth-watering with blackberries and a pleasantly long finish. Surprisingly full-bodied for Beaujolais and the Gamay grape, but then again, the Morgon region is among the best of Beaujolais and capable of producing great wines like this one. Pair this with holiday turkey. Drink: 2014-2019. 276477 12.80% D 750 mL  $26.95 Score: 91/100. March 3, 2018 Best Value Red Wine. Terrific Turkey Wine Full Review
