Personalised Domaine Louis Claude Desvignes Morgon Côte du Py Javernièrs 2022 13% 750ML

Tasting Notes

Aroma
This wine comes from the southern and eastern foothills of the Py hill. It is delicate on the palate, displaying aromas of violet and blackberry.

Palate
Expressing tasty fruitiness, underscored by a long and refined tannic structure, it leaves a sensation of plenitude. Nothing short of sheer indulgence!

Vinification
Following the hand harvest, the fruit was 50% de-stemmed and fermented quite warm at 25-35 degrees Celsius in cement tanks for a week to 10 days, with some carbonic maceration. Following the malo-lactic fermentation the wine is racked and left in tank on fine lees for around 12-14 months prior to bottling.

Vintage notes
Vintage 2022 was overall much happier than 2022 in Beaujolais, as in Burgundy and Chablis, with healthier yields. April 2022 was sunny and dry, but cool with bud-break five days later than the average. However, May was record-breaking with persistent heat resulting in an early start to flowering. June was even more extreme with high temperatures and persistent storms, with hail causing some losses. July and August remained hot and dry, resulting in optimum berry health. The harvest, the second earliest this century after 2003, was carried out in favourable conditions and the resultant wines show remarkable balance with fine tannins over concentrated and flavoursome fruit.

Cellaring potential
Enjoy over the coming 6-10 years. Serve at 12 degrees Celsius to enjoy the wine’s fragrance and structure.
