Louis-Claude Desvignes - Morgon Côte du Py 2023

Bettane & Desseauve

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 brotherly 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:

The Morgon Côte du Py 2023, aged in concrete eggs, has one of the Domaine's finest bouquets, with crystalline red fruit and wonderful minerality. I could have smelled it all day! The palate is immaculate, with fine, clean and precise tannins, overloaded with tension. A lively, taut finish invites you to take another sip. Potentially one of the best Côte du Py I've tasted, it exudes effortless class.
