Morgon Cote du Py Javernieres Domaine Louis et Claude Desvignes 2023

The 2023 Morgon Javernières opens with a deep and rounded nose, blending black cherries, wild strawberries, and a hint of oyster shells. On the palate, it is medium-bodied, offering sapid dark berry fruit with a touch of black olive, leading to a slightly confit-like finish. Irresistibly charming in its youth, this comely Morgon is both approachable now and promises delightful evolution with time.

Domaine Desvignes, rooted in the heart of Morgon’s Côte du Py, is a family estate with over eight generations of winemaking tradition. Founded by the spirited Louis-Claude Desvignes, the domaine is now led by his children, Claude-Emmanuelle and Louis-Benoît, who have embraced organic certification and estate-bottling while honoring their father’s commitment to quality. Known for their expressive, age-worthy wines, particularly from the renowned Javernières and Côte du Py vineyards, Desvignes’ Morgon cuvées evolve from vibrant dark fruit in youth to complex, earthy tones with age, showcasing the true potential of Cru Beaujolais.
