The Javernières cuvée comes from the same Côte du Py vineyard, but from the southern foothills of the hill. A Morgon with aromas of blood orange and peach, leaning toward floral notes. The palate is rich and round, with fine tannins and an air of elegance. The finish is long, with subtle hints of spice. A real success!

About the wine:
A mouthful of flavors, a blend of peppery spices and meat juices, silky and elegant—it’s almost like a glass of Pinot!
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, renowned for their rigor and attention to detail, are the worthy successors to a tradition of excellence.

Wine rated (2015 guide) 16/20 (Very good wine)
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 wine:
Superbly balanced, with a freshness, silky tannins, and a purity of fruit worthy of a fine Burgundy, yet with a rougher, more robust character.
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 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.
