Morgon Côte du Py-Javernières

France
Beaujolais
2021

100% Gamay. From a one-hectare parcel in the Javernières lieu-dit at the foot of the famed Côte du Py hill, noted for the iron-rich clay component of its sandy granite soils. The vines in this bottling range from 50 to 100 years old and are farmed sustainably and harvested by hand. As for all Terres Dorées wines, the vinification is traditional Burgundian: the bunches are destemmed and fermented with native yeasts and without sulfur in concrete tank. The maceration lasts about 4 weeks. The wine is aged in concrete for 6-8 months and bottled with a light, non-sterile filtration and minimal sulfur.

"The 2021 Morgon Côte du Py Javernières is a taut, structured wine that will demand a little patience, even in this giving vintage. Offering up aromas of plums, red berries, sweet spices and licorice, it's medium to full-bodied, deep and vibrant, with powdery tannins and tangy acids."
