"Very Beaujolais with its juicy, digestible side & very Morgon with its structured, deep side".

"Its bouquet is lively and pure, with scents of blueberry and violet. The palate is medium-bodied with grainy tannins, quite strict for now with a touch of warmth on the finish. Finesse." (Vinous 2024)

Domaine rated (guide 2023) 4*Stars (Top-quality producers, the glories of French winegrowing)

About the domain :

This emblematic Beaujolais estate, as much for its history as for its reputation, shines in Morgon and throughout the Beaujolais region. The vineyard covers 13 hectares, including five on the Côte de Py. At the head of the domaine, Claude-Emmanuelle and her brother Louis-Benoît, renowned for their rigor and attention to detail, are the worthy successors of a tradition of excellence. The latest vintages, with their combination of finesse and delicacy, are always elegant.

About the domain :

Anyone who has put their lips to a wine from the fraternal duo Claude-Emmanuelle and Louis-Benoît Desvignes has experienced a special emotion. Here, aesthetic research focuses on the fine expression of the lieux-dits (mainly in Morgon), the right substance according to the vintage and the capacity for ageing, resulting from attentive viticulture, sensitive vinification, far from dogma, and refined wood-free ageing. The third star has been pinned to the estate's jacket for several years now, and given the consistency and coherence of the range, we're guessing it will remain there for many years to come.

About the wine:

Beaujolais L'Aube à Javernières 2023 comes from plots near Morgon on deep clay soils. The bouquet is lively and pure, with scents of blueberry and violet. The palate is medium-bodied with grainy tannins, quite strict for the moment with a touch of warmth on the finish. Finesse.
