"[...] It has a sensual nose of macerated red cherry, wild strawberry, and light floral scents, which is very appealing. The palate is well-balanced with lively, taut, and salty acidity, showing more complexity on the finish than the Corcelette. Absolutely delicious." (Vinous 2024)

Rated estate (2023 guide) 4 stars (Producers of very high quality, those who are the pride of French vineyards)
About the estate:
The iconic Beaujolais region, renowned for both its history and reputation, shines brightly in Morgon and Beaujolais. The vineyard covers 13 hectares, five of which are located on the Côte de Py. At the helm of the estate, Claude-Emmanuelle and her brother Louis-Benoît, renowned for their rigor and attention to detail, are the worthy successors to a tradition of excellence. The latest vintages, combining finesse and richness, are always elegant.

Rated estate (2023 guide) 3 stars (These represent the excellence of French vineyards. The best terroirs cultivated by the greatest winemakers. Tasting their wine is always a magical moment.)
About the estate:
Anyone who has tasted a wine from the brotherly duo Claude-Emmanuelle and Louis-Benoît Desvignes has experienced a special emotion. Here, the aesthetic quest focuses on the subtle expression of the terroir (mainly in Morgon), the right blend depending on the vintage, and the wine's aging potential, achieved through careful viticulture, sensitive winemaking that eschews dogma, and refined aging without wood. The third star has been pinned to the estate's jacket for several years now, and given the consistency and coherence of the range, we suspect it will remain there for many years to come.

About wine:
The Morgon Montpelain 2023 was aged in 30-hectoliter concrete eggs. It has a sensual nose of macerated red cherry, wild strawberry, and light floral scents, which is very appealing. The palate is well-balanced with lively, taut, and salty acidity, showing more complexity on the finish than the Corcelette. Absolutely delicious.
