From 70 year old vines grown on schist and volcanic soils on the east side of the Cote du Py, this deliciously dense and concentrated Morgon has dark raspberry fruit and spice flavours, with velvet smooth tannins and crunchy fresh acidity.
“Opening in the glass with notes of cherries, smoky berries, sweet soil tones and burning embers, the 2021 Morgon Côte du Py is medium to full-bodied, ample and layered, with good concentration, powdery tannins and a penetrating, saline finish. Despite the challenges of the vintage, the Desvignes family has produced a very classy wine.” 92/100pts Wine Advocate
“Louis-Benoît Desvignes reported yields averaging 23 hectoliters per hectare in the 2021 vintage, mainly due to losses from frost, which made for uneven ripeness down the line. The domaine accordingly destemmed more than usual, opting for macerations lasting 12–13 days. The results remind Louis-Benoît increasingly of the 2016 vintage, a very successful year in a more classical register at this address. As I’ve written before, this 13-hectare domaine produces some of the longest lived and most serious wines in the Beaujolais. Old vines, farmed organically and harvested late, produce grapes that see traditional winemaking with a submerged cap. The result is a range of inky, saturated reds with plenty of character and structure, and the top cuvées generally have no trouble evolving for two decades.” William Kelley
