"The 2023 Morgon Côte du Py Javernières comes from north- and south-facing vineyards planted in clay and bluestone soils. On the nose, it reveals aromas of cherries, raspberries, jasmine tea, and orange blossom. The wine opens elegantly with a rounded attack, then slowly takes shape as the concentrated core of sandstone-like tannins imposes a long and precise progression, while the flavor fades and the acquired youthful tension reaches its peak." (Wine Advocate 2025)

Rated estate (2023 guide) 4*Stars (Producers of the very highest quality, the pride of French viticulture)
About the estate:
This iconic Beaujolais estate, renowned for both its history and reputation, shines brightly in Morgon and throughout the Beaujolais region. The vineyard spans 13 hectares, five of which are situated on the Côte de Py. At the helm of the estate, Claude-Emmanuelle and her brother Louis-Benoît, known for their meticulousness and attention to detail, are worthy successors to a tradition of excellence. The latest vintages, balancing finesse and lusciousness, remain consistently elegant.

RVF - La Revue du Vin de France / Guide des Meilleurs Vins de France
Rated estate (2023 guide) 3*Stars (These represent the pinnacle of French winemaking. The finest terroirs cultivated by the greatest winemakers. Tasting their wine is always a magical experience)
About the estate:
Anyone who has tasted a wine from the brother-sister duo Claude-Emmanuelle and Louis-Benoît Desvignes has experienced a unique emotion. Here, the aesthetic pursuit focuses on the subtle expression of the specific vineyard sites (primarily in Morgon), the precise texture adapted to each vintage, and the aging potential resulting from meticulous viticulture, sensitive winemaking free from dogma, and refined, oak-free aging. The estate has held its third star for several years now, and given the consistency and coherence of its range, we suspect it will remain there for many years to come.

Wine rated (2024 guide) 90-92/100
Rated winery (2023 guide) Recommended
About the wine:
The 2023 Morgon Javernières has a deep, rounded nose where black cherry mingles with wild strawberry and oyster shell. The palate is medium-bodied, with savory black fruit tinged with black olive, softening towards the finish, which is slightly restrained.
