editMorgon (countable and uncountable, plural Morgons)
- A type of red wine from the Beaujolais region. [from 19th c.]
- 1987, Stuart Evans, Seasonal Tribal Feasts, page 166:
- And so we went through the cold beef (Scottish forequarter spit-roasted) and chocolate mousse with a good Morgon and curacao.
- 2001, John Fisher, The Evaluation of Wine, page 198:
- Morgon is full-bodied and high in alcohol content (sometimes surpassing 14%), and has a little more tannin than the typical Beaujolais.
- 2010 July 10, Victoria Moore, The Guardian:
- 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.
