The Morgon Côte du Py Javernières 2023 comes from north- and south-facing vineyards planted in clay and blue stone soils. On the nose, it reveals aromas of cherries, raspberries, jasmine tea, and orange blossom. The wine opens elegantly, with a round attack, then slowly takes shape as the condensed heart of sandstone-like tannins imposes a long and precise progression, while the flavor fades and the youthful tension reaches its peak."

RVF - La Revue du Vin de France / Guide des Meilleurs Vins de France
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.

Rated estate (2023 guide) Recommended
About wine:
The Morgon Javernières 2023 has a deep, round nose, where black cherry mingles with wild strawberry and oyster shell. The palate is medium-bodied, with sapid black fruits tinged with black olive, softening towards the finish, which is slightly subdued.
