Rating: Robert Parker 92/100, RVF 17/20
“Morgon Javernieres Les Impenitents 2011, made from 60-year-old vines, offers aromas of black tea, pungent and salty walnut oil, and hints of an alkaline sea breeze, along with the expected scents of fresh blackberries. Aromas of grilled meat, licorice, and herbs are added to a silky palate, almost as if it were a Syrah from the South. The finish offers a sense of transparency with herbal and mineral nuances. It will continue to evolve until at least 2018.” (Wine Advocate - Robert Parker)

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, shines as a beacon over Morgon and 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, renowned for their rigor and attention to detail, are the worthy successors to a tradition of excellence. The latest vintages, blending finesse and richness, are always 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 according to the vintage, and aging potential—all stemming from meticulous viticulture, sensitive winemaking free from dogma, and refined, wood-free aging. The third star has been pinned to the estate’s lapel for several years now, and given the consistency and coherence of the range, we suspect it will remain there for many years to come.

Review by Mr. YOURI S. Posted on October 16, 2013
A deep ruby color. A powerful nose with animal notes, jammy red and black fruits, a hint of spice, plum, and menthol. The palate opens with a taut attack, superb fruit, a peppery mid-palate, fresh and spicy tannins, and a long, mineral finish of impressive concentration. A superb wine that will age well for 5 to 7 years.
