    In a few words ...

    Dominique Piron's Morgon Côte du Py 2017 features in Wine Spectator magazine's Top 100 best wines in the world. The Morgon cru is located in the hills of the Villié Morgon commune in northern Beaujolais. The climate is continental, and the small plots from which this wine comes benefit from a southeasterly exposure overlooking the Saône valley. At an altitude of 200-300 meters, these 50+ year-old vines flourish on subsoils of old disintegrated granite, rich in iron oxide. Aged 30% in wood, foudres and barrels to bring out the fullness of the wine.

    Tasting notes

    Appearance

    Dark garnet color.

    Aroma

    Aromas and flavors of stone fruit, especially cherry, and even kirsch with age. Well-structured, mineral wines with good ageing potential.

    Wine Fruity | Mineral | Spicy

    Taste

    Gourmand and fruity on the palate, full-bodied, with tannins that are still present but mellow, and a lovely persistent freshness. An elegant wine.

    A Morgon that's a pleasure to drink, thanks to its complexity! It's very well crafted, with more spice and roundness than a classic fruity Morgon. Miam

    this is undoubtedly a superior wine. It's a grape variety with its own characteristics, so it may not be understood at first, but it can be appreciated over time.

    Cherry and prune on the nose, with delicate aromas of pepper and liquorice. Round tannins give a harmonious whole.

    A well-crafted wine. A note of red fruit with moderate spice on the finish. Well-balanced. A pleasure to drink.

    It was the perfect accompaniment to my meal, but I would have liked a little more length on the palate.

    I find this wine quite tannic, but while remaining light, it should keep for a few more years.
