Desvignes Morgon Corcelette – 2022

Grown on south-facing, 50 year old vines grown on the pink granite soils of the tiny Corcelette vineyard, this is always the most easily approachable and charmingly fruity of the Desvignes stable of wines. The fairly high altitude of this vineyard (420mts) has given balance and freshness to the ripe and savoury raspberry and redcurrant fruit flavours from this warm vintage. Drinking very nicely already, this is a beautiful example of Beaujolais’ great Morgon Cru at a very fair price!

“The 2022 Morgon Corcelette originates from purchased grapes from a vineyard that sits at 430 meters in altitude on pure granite soil. Entirely destemmed due to hail damage, this has a fresh nose with aromas of elderberries, cherries, white petals, wet stone and brown spices. Medium-bodied, the structure is less defined, with talc-like tannins that daintily frame the fleshy fruit-driven core. Otherwise, the bright acidity uplifts the wine, while its wet-stone salinity becomes the driving force behind a lingering finish.” 90/100 Wine Advocate
