history
Christophe Sornay represents the fifth generation to take over the family farm. In the commune of Villié-Morgon, the Sornay family has a solid reputation that it has defended since it took over the Domaine in 2007. The great great grand-father of Christophe was a cooper. We are here in the tradition. The total surface of the Domaine is 12 hectares.Christophe Sornay, attentive to the eco-system, makes the weeding of the vines and brings an enrichment of the humus with his crushed branches. His way of vinification corresponds to the device of Morgon Cru “The fruit of a Beaujolais, the charm of a Bourgogne”.

The 2022 Morgon Grand Cras offers more red fruit on the nose compared to the Côte du Py, well-defined with hints of marmalade and blood orange. The palate is medium-bodied with pliant tannins, fleshy and ripe, yet unlike some of its peers, there is satisfying freshness and vigor. Just a delicate touch of white pepper seasons the finish and thus completes a lovely Grand Cras.
