A nod to Marcel's daughter and also to his father, the Camille cuvée comes from an old plot on the Côte de Py covering barely 1 hectare. Aged for nine months in old barrels after 24 days of maceration in truncated wooden vats, this beautiful Morgon with its deep garnet color reveals aromas of fresh red fruits on the nose, followed by floral accents on the palate, with great elegance and remarkable length... Enjoy!

Bettane & Desseauve
Rated estate (2021 guide) 2 stars (A serious and recommendable production, but a little more consistent and uniform than the previous one)
About the estate:
Mathieu Lapierre, now joined by his sister Camille, continues the work started by his father Marcel, who passed away too soon. It was in 1981, under the influence of Jules Chauvet, an eminent researcher, that Marcel Lapierre decided to make wine without sulfur or cultured yeasts, and to cultivate his vines biodynamically. Since his death, Mathieu Lapierre has continued his father's work with the same passion, and with great success. A former chef, Mathieu Lapierre is driven by precision and rigor. Sulphur-free winemaking is not an absolute quest and should only be done when conditions are right. 2017 presents a dilemma: choosing between the natural cuvée and the sulphited cuvée, each with qualities that the other lacks! It is a matter of taste that only the connoisseur can decide, as both philosophies seem equally valid to us.

Wine rated 15.5/20 (2020 vintage) (Good wine)
Rated estate (2024 guide) 1*Star (Up-and-coming stars or quality winemakers producing good-quality wines; you won't be disappointed when tasting the wines from these estates)
About the estate:
Since Marcel Lapierre passed away, his wife Marie, son Mathieu, and daughter Camille have continued to uphold the spirit of "natural" wines, of which he was one of the pioneers. The Lapierres' strength lies in their beautiful vineyards, which have been organically farmed since 1981, enabling them to produce a Morgon that is representative of the appellation, complemented by a "sulphur-free" wine that is immediately enjoyable and a more exclusive Julienas. To meet demand, the estate also buys grapes. The wine is aged without sulfur for an average of nine months, in barrels ranging from three to thirteen years old, as well as in venerable casks. The estate has entered an era in which it can produce "natural" wines with consistency, without overdoing it.
