Domaine Louis Claude Desvignes - Morgon - Côte du Py - Javernières - Aux Pierres - Rouge - 2022

Wine:

A new cuvée from the estate, produced for the third time, the 2022 red Morgon Côte du Py Javernières Aux Pierres comes from a more stony terroir in the esteemed Javernières area, rich in clay and manganese deep down. The 90-year-old vines offer superb thickness, substance, and volume, while aging in ovoid concrete tanks preserves a pure, expressive, and brilliantly vibrant fruit. With 50% whole cluster fermentation, the juice is luxurious, marked by black fruits and an almost saline balance. This Morgon is undoubtedly made for aging.
