"From a site named for its prominence of dark schist, Chateau des Jacques’s 2009 Morgon Roche Noire is deeply and sweetly fruited with red and black raspberry, saline and berry seed notes serving for counterpoint and invigoration. Suggestions of marrow-rich meat stock, chalk, and crushed stone add to the sense of depth and there is a vibratory sense of energy and brightness to the wine’s long finish."
