   Morgon is full-bodied and high in alcohol content (sometimes surpassing 14%), and has a little more tannin than the typical Beaujolais.

   2001, John Fisher, The Evaluation of Wine, page 198

   I like Morgon – powerful, dark and fleshy, with black rather than red fruit, it reminds me of walking into a deep cavern – and I think Julienas (masculine, earthy and granitic) and Chiroubles (the highest, and delicate, like birdsong) are under-rated.
