The 2018 Morgon “les Charmes” from the Wilding family at Château Grange Cochard is a beautifully sappy and black fruity example of the vintage, offering up a bouquet of black cherries, sweet dark berries, bitter chocolate, bonfire, dark soil tones, gamebird and a topnote of violet. On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied and nicely structured, with a sappy core of fruit, fine soil undertow, firm, well-integrated tannins and a long, nascently complex and very well-balanced finish. This is quite low octane in personality for the 2018 vintage! The ripeness of fruit of the vintage here is harnessed beautifully in the soil tones and structural chassis of this wine, auguring for superb things down the road.
