Desvignes Morgon Cote Du Py 2022

Desvignes Morgon Cote du Py is a red wine made with the Gamay variety by Emmanuelle and Louis-Benoit Desvignes in their winery located in Morgon (Beaujolais), in France. It comes from an area of ??just 2.2 hectares that were planted on the east side of the Cote du Py more than seventy years ago. THE soil of shale and decomposed volcanic rocks. They are worked manually, without any synthetic product since 2005 and since 2021 it is certified in organic farming. It is harvested by hand, vinified by the traditional method of carbonic maceration with whole clusters and refined for ten months in cement. A wine with all the race of the emblematic vineyard of Morgon that, in addition, keeps well. In the glass we will find a wine with aromas of liquorice and a beautiful tannic texture. A wine of sensory and intellectual enjoyment. Louis-Benoit and Claude-Emmannuelle Desvignes are the eighth family generation of this Domaine, which was founded in 1722. Morgonians to boot, they work 13 hectares of vineyards, of which 5 are in what is probably the most famous vineyard in the entire Beaujolais: The Côte du Py, which the Desvignes now divide into different subplots. Desvignes wines are refined and classy. Louis and Claude want to make wines for aging but not based on extraction. The wines are of great finesse and, despite the fact that they age very slowly and with great evolution, they can be drunk perfectly when they are young. That is the magic of great wine, which is when young and when mature.
