“The 2024 Morgon Côte du Py, aged entirely in concrete egg-shaped tanks, offers a charming, vibrant bouquet with mineral-rich red fruit aromas that unfold in the glass. The palate is beautifully balanced, with subtle tannins, impressive acidity, plenty of tension, and a lively, lingering finish. It’s a very classy wine from a challenging growing season.” (Vinous 2025) And it has great aging potential to boot!

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 its reputation, is a shining star in Morgon and throughout the Beaujolais region. The vineyard spans 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—known for their rigor and attention to detail—are worthy successors to a tradition of excellence. The most recent vintages, combining finesse and richness, are consistently elegant.

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 Desvignes siblings—Claude-Emmanuelle and Louis-Benoît—has experienced a special emotion. Here, the pursuit of aesthetic excellence focuses on the subtle expression of specific vineyard sites (primarily in Morgon), the right balance of structure tailored to each vintage, and the wine’s aging potential—all resulting from meticulous viticulture, sensitive winemaking free from dogma, and refined, wood-free aging. The estate has been adorned with its third star for several years now, and given the consistency and coherence of its lineup, we suspect it will remain there for many years to come.
