2023 Domaine de Thulon Morgon 'Les Charmes' Cru Beaujolais

The Soul of Morgon, Bottled with Heart.

Let’s make one thing clear: this is not your average “Beaujolais.” The Domaine de Thulon Morgon ‘Les Charmes’ is a straight-up stunner. Crafted from old vines rooted in granite-rich slopes, this wine doesn’t whisper Morgon—it roars it. It’s juicy, bold, and elegant all at once.

Born from the iconic ‘Les Charmes’ vineyard—one of the crown jewels of Morgon—this wine delivers that rare balance of power and finesse that turns casual drinkers into lifelong fans. It’s the kind of wine you bring to a dinner party when you want to look like you really know what you’re doing.

And here’s where it gets even better: it’s made by a family who actually lives and breathes wine. The Jambons aren’t a brand; they’re real people, real farmers. Annie and René started it all after two decades of backbreaking work as sharecroppers. They bought the Chateau de Thulon estate—yes, a literal 15th-century chateau—and turned it into a thriving, sustainable winery. Today, their kids are running the show with that same hands-in-the-soil mentality and a fresh streak of experimentation that keeps things exciting.

Every vine is farmed by hand. Every decision made by the family. From the granite-studded vineyard to the final cork in the bottle, this wine is crafted with old-school know-how and next-generation passion.

In the glass, it’s pure Morgon: ripe cherries, violets, and that earthy, iron-kissed backbone that gives it structure and soul. It drinks beautifully now with a little chill but has the bones to evolve for years if you’ve got the patience. (But honestly, why wait?)

Wines from Morgon’s top vineyards can easily push past $75. This one? Not even close. Domaine de Thulon’s 2023 ‘Les Charmes’ isn’t just a smart buy—it’s a steal. A bottle that overdelivers in every possible way.
