Notes : Robert Parker 91/100, RVF 16/20
The Gamay grape expresses itself admirably on this soil of disintegrated sandstone and granite, with a mid-slope southeast exposure. Morgon La Voûte Saint-Vincent opens with aromas reminiscent of small red fruits: blueberry, blackberry, and benefits from good length with quite a bit of tannin. A Morgon of choice!

Expert opinion

Bettane & Desseauve

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.

RVF - La Revue du Vin de France / Guide des Meilleurs Vins de France

Domaine rated (guide 2023) 3*Stars (They represent the excellence of the French vineyard. The best terroirs cultivated by the greatest winemakers. Tasting their wines is always a magical experience)

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.

Note and review by M. ALEXANDRE J. Published on 29/10/2014

Very rich and complex, it still needs 2-3 years or an hour's decanting to be fully appreciated. You can really feel the overripe fruit in this solar vintage. Delicious and intense.
