About this wine :
About the vineyard :
Young Claude-Emmanuelle Desvignes, who has taken over the estate with her brother since 2002, became the nineth generation of winemakers. Her vineyard is ideally located in the heart of the famous Côte du Py, in the middle of Morgon. A traditionnal winemaking and old vines (more than sixty years-old) reveals the best of gamay noir. We recommend to keep the wines for a couple of years, they are slow to open up.
Vineyard rated (guide 2019) : 4****Stars (The producers of very high-quality wines, those who are the glory of the French vineyard)
About the vineyard : Louis-Claude Desvignes had carried this estate to the highest level of Morgon, today his children Louis-Benoît et Claude-Emmanuelle continue his work besides him. The vines cover most of the good areas of the appellation, including the best parts of Côte de Py and Javernières. A careful viticulture and precise winemaking allow the best extraction : the wines are defined by a dark fruitiness, notes of ink and a tannic concentration distinguishing its crus from the others. It is not unusual that young wines are a little tight, even austere, but all age perfectly.
Vineyard rated : Recommended (Winery recommended by the Wine Advocate - Robert Parker)
