Cuvée Javernières comes from the same Côte du Py climate, but from the southern foothills of the hill. A Morgon with aromas of blood orange, peach and floral notes. The palate is greedy, round, with fine tannins and an impression of elegance. The finish is long, evoking spices with subtlety. A great success!

Domaine Louis-Claude Desvignes
Morgon
Expert opinion
Bettane & Desseauve
Wine rated (2015 guide) 16/20 (Very good wine)
Domaine rated (guide 2023) 4*Stars (Top-quality producers, the glories of French winegrowing)
About the wine:
Full-bodied on the palate, a blend of peppery spices and meat juices, silky and elegant, almost pinot!
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.

Wine rated (2015 guide) 16/20 (Very good wine)
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 wine:
Superbly balanced, with a freshness, silky tannins and purity of fruit worthy of a fine Burgundy, with a rougher, more massive side.
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.

Superb mouthfeel for this wine that pinotes with its notes of kirsh and spices. A real treat.
