Default Morgan Gamay, Guy Breton

This past week when travelig I tried a Morgan Gamay, Village wine. From
Burg the staff at restaurant said.

I had asssumed the only red wine from Burg was Pinot Noir. I guess I was
wrong? :-(

Wine was very different, very interesting, lots of flavors...but not the
type I would have again. It was a Kermit Lynch selection.

Morgon is Beaujolais and Gamay is the grape for that area.

Beaujolais is the southern end of the department of Burgundy, so
geographically it is Burgundy. While other areas in Burgundy but
outside the C=F4te d'Or (C=F4te Chalonnais, M=E2con, Chablis) use the same
grapes as the C=F4te d'Or (please note I know there are a few exceptions-
Grande Ordinaire, Aligote, Passetoutgrains, as well as "sports" such as
Gouges' NSG), the term Burgundy commonly includes them, but Beaujolais
reds are Gamay they're usually in own classification.

<nitpicking> There is no département "Bourgogne", only a "région"
Bourgogne, comprising the départements "Côte d'Or", "Yonne"
(Chablis), Nièvre, and Saône-et-Loire (part of Beaujolais).

The major part of Beaujolais, however, is grown in the département
"Rhône", part of the région "Rhône Alpes".

The administrative entity "Bourgogne" does not equal what is
called "Bourgogne viticole" (winegrowing Burgundy).

As to the AOC Bourgogne, the wines entitled to the AOCs of
Brouilly, Côtes de Brouilly, Chénas, Chiroubles, Fleurie,
Juliénas, Morgon, Moulin-à-Vent, and Saint-Amour (i.e. 9 of the 10
Crus in Beaujolais) can in theory apply for the AOC "Bourgogne"
(in that case losing their cru AOC, so nobody does it, of course):

So, is Morgan Village a Beaujolais?

Yes Dick, Morgan is one of the 10 Crus of Beaujolais.

Michael, thanks for correction. I knew I should be careful re use of
French administrative terms such as Department without a reference in
front of me!
