The TOP winemakers of Loire

Eric Morgat was able to plant and build his own 6-hectare Chenin vineyard, selecting what he considered to be the best terroirs on the volcanic and schist hillsides overlooking the Loire, while clearing and replanting Savennières plots that had been abandoned. After various minor adjustments since 2004, the wines produced are dry (harvested without botrytis), and vinified for approximately 20 months in barrels then in vat. The wines have an uncommon energy and intensity. Domaine Morgat produces 3 different cuvées in AOC Savennières: the Cuvée "LITUS": comes from a one-hectare plot, located on the heights of a volcanic hillside overlooking the Layon. The southerly exposure of the plot and the very stony and warm spilite soil, made up of volcanic rock, promote high maturity of the Chenin and a magnificent, frank saline expression in the wine. The nose displays aromas of white peach, apple, and mirabelle plum, along with passion fruit, accompanied by floral notes such as acacia and verbena. On the palate, the wine is rich but dominated by the freshness of citrus (lime, kumquat) and fine mentholated flavors, leading to a taut and saline finish, marked by the precision of the aromas. This is indeed a gastronomic wine, endowed with a genuine ageing potential of approximately 8 to 10 years. The "FIDES" cuvée from Morgat is a great, dense and complex fine wine, with ripe and juicy fruit, featuring notes of pear, stewed apple and apricot accompanied by a hint of almond, and floral flavors of mimosa, grass and fresh mint. The wine is very mineral, and one literally has the impression of tasting stone dust, very saline, energetic and salivating on the palate. The finish is marked by delicate, finely peppered bitterness reminiscent of pomelo and orange zests. The wine was aged 12 months in barrels as well as 9 months in vat, in order to give it body and richness. It will fully blossom after 7 to 8 years of ageing. Finally, the Morgat "Clos Sertaux" cuvée can prove to be very rare, as in 2016, when this one-hectare plot was only able to produce (due to frost) a mere 1,000 precious bottles of a wine of extraordinary intensity. This is an exceptional cuvée, marked by great mineral, fruity, floral and spiced complexity. The wine presents itself as a true whirlwind of aromas of pear, pineapple, quince, citrus, muscat, bergamot, menthol, black tea and dried shell fruits. On the palate, the wine is pure and mineral, very saline and chiseled, worthy of a true Grand Cru. 3 great Loire wines produced by Domaine Morgat, to be recommended to enthusiasts in search of intense sensations and mineral purity.
