90 Pointsout of 100.

The 2022 Morgon Corcelette originates from purchased grapes from a vineyard that sits at 430 meters in altitude on pure granite soil. Entirely destemmed due to hail damage, this has a fresh nose with aromas of elderberries, cherries, white petals, wet stone and brown spices. Medium-bodied, the structure is less defined, with talc-like tannins that daintily frame the fleshy fruit-driven core. Otherwise, the bright acidity uplifts the wine, while its wet-stone salinity becomes the driving force behind a lingering finish.

DOMAINE LOUIS CLAUDE DESVIGNES

Behind the 1722 entrance, the Domaines Louis-Claude Desvignes’s Cellars unveil 8 centuries of continuous production of Morgon from estate vineyards, 5 ha of which are in the most celebrated Cru of Cote du Py (including some 100 year old vines in Javernieres), and 8 Ha in Douby. Today brother and sister, Louis-Benoit and Claude, together carry forward the familial traditions of the Domaine. The soils are crumbly, crystalline rich in iron oxides, with layers of manganese, schists and ancient volcanic rock. All the wines are vinified and aged in cement tanks, with the aim of accentuating the minerality of the wines of Morgon.
