Expert Review:
Gary Walsh- 94 points, Dried raspberry, plum, rose and chamomile, sweet spices. It’s rich and ripe, quite dense, packed with firm graphite tannin, hearty and full, but still fresh and ‘minerally’, with a dried rose and spice finish of excellent length, and some dried herb bitterness to close. Quite the thing.

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.
