2021 Morgon, Côte du Py, Louis Claude Desvignes, Beaujolais

Description

Opening in the glass with notes of cherries, smoky berries, sweet soil tones and burning embers, the 2021 Morgon Côte du Py is medium to full-bodied, ample and layered, with good concentration, powdery tannins and a penetrating, saline finish. Despite the challenges of the vintage, the Desvignes family has produced a very classy wine.

Louis-Benoît Desvignes reported yields averaging 23 hectoliters per hectare in the 2021 vintage, mainly due to losses from frost, which made for uneven ripeness down the line. The domaine accordingly destemmed more than usual, opting for macerations lasting 12–13 days. The results remind Louis-Benoît increasingly of the 2016 vintage, a very successful year in a more classical register at this address.

A glowing lighter purple colour. Given how difficult the growing season was, I am really impressed by the lovely raspberry and strawberry nose. Fresh and lively with enough fruit throughout.Jasper Morris MW, InsideBurgundy.com (April 2022)
