Domaine Dubost Morgon ‘La Ballofière’ 2023 puente-alto acidity and woodMorgon La Ballofire: Ballofire is a high altitude parcel for Morgon, situated at 350 370 meters with a west to south exposure and consisting of poor, schistous soil with a small amount of sand. Following a semi carbonic maceration, Dubost incorporates 15% used demi muids into the elevage here, with the balance done in tank. The pulpy, gently tannic palate offers darkly spiced fruit and a firm sense of minerality.
