"The Morgon “aux Pierres Javernières” bottling is made from ninety-three year-old vines situated at the foot of the Côte du Py. The wine includes about half whole clusters and is raised in concrete egg. The 2023 version is the ripest of these 2023s that I tasted from the domaine, coming in at 14.5 percent octane. However, it offers up great purity and precision on the nose, wafting from the glass in a mix of black cherries, sweet dark berries, espresso, a beautiful base of dark soil tones, a touch of meatiness, bonfire and a topnote of fresh thyme. On the palate the wine is fullbodied, ripe, complex and rock solid at the core, with fine soil signature and grip, ripe, wellintegrated tannins, fine focus and grip and just a wisp of heat on the long and well balanced finish. This is a properly structured young Morgon and is going to need plenty of bottle age to soften up, but it is going to be a fine wine once it is ready to drink. 2035-2075+. "
