Morgon Rouge "Javernières Aux Pierres" 2021 | Wine from Domaine Louis Claude Desvignes

The Domaine Louis Claude Desvignes, renowned for its mastery of the Morgon terroirs, embodies the legacy of a winemaking passion passed down through eight generations. The estate, considered a benchmark of the Morgon appellation, produces wines of character, depth, and captivation. In the Beaujolais terroirs, this estate stands out for its respectful approach to the soil and grape varieties, with a conversion to organic farming since 2020.

The Morgon "Javernières Aux Pierres" 2021 comes from the eastern part of the famous Py hill, overlooking the entire appellation. This exceptional wine is made from nearly century-old vines planted in the "Aux Pierres" area in Javernières, on a rocky terroir recognized for its quality potential long before the creation of the AOC. The old massal selections, rooted in this soil, produce a wine of great density and a unique depth. This Morgon is aged in a 30 hl concrete egg, allowing for the harmonious development of its structure and intense fruitiness.

From the first tasting, the Morgon "Javernières Aux Pierres" 2021 reveals a deep red color. On the nose, aromas of black fruits mingle with mineral notes, reflecting the rocky soil of Javernières. On the palate, this wine is dense, with a structured texture and beautiful intensity. Its slightly saline balance offers a fresh and persistent finish, ideal for long aging.

This Morgon pairs perfectly with grilled or sauced red meats, such as a beef bourguignon, game dishes with powerful flavors, like a hare à la royale, as well as strong cheeses, particularly a well-aged Saint-Nectaire.
