Domaine Chamonard, Morgon Les Clos de Lys, 2010 (1.5L)
One of the grand fine natural wines of Beaujolais, made the old-fashioned way long before that was fashionable. Domaine Chamonard was founded by Joseph Chamonard, a Morgon original who farmed organically and vinified alongside friends Lapierre, Foillard, Breton, and Thevenet; today it's run by his daughter Genevieve and son-in-law Jean-Claude Chanudet. Clos de Lys comes from old massale-selected vines on Morgon's classic granite, fermented whole-cluster with wild yeasts and aged in old wood, no chemicals in or out of the cellar. This is a magnum from 2010, a structured vintage that suited Chamonard's serious, ageworthy style. More than a decade on, it has shed its baby fat and moved into mature, savory territory; decant and enjoy with friends.
