Please note – this is Desvignes’ top cuvée and only produced in tiny quantities. The maximum order quantity is 6 bottles per customer.
This wonderful, dense and concentrated “super-Beaujolais” comes from 3 parcels of 106 year old vines in Javernières.
“The Desvignes portfolio attains its crescendo with the 2020 Morgon Côte du Py Les Impénitents. Offering up aromas of wild berries, violets, orange rind, Egyptian musk, warm spices and loamy soil, it’s medium to full-bodied, seamless and complete, its broad and velvety attack segueing into a deep and layered mid-palate that’s framed by rich, powdery tannins and lively acids. Multidimensional, penetrating and perfumed, it’s a profound Morgon that numbers among the wines of the vintage. But what’s new?
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 whole clusters, long macerations and a submerged cap. The result is a range of inky, saturated reds with plenty of character and structure, and the top cuvées will have no trouble evolving for two decades. Anyone looking to experience the glories of aged Beaujolais shouldn’t hesitate to tuck a couple of cases away in the cellar, as a 2010 Impénitents, an overlooked vintage, amply proved on this most recent visit.”
