Louis Claude Desvignes 2023 Morgon Cote de Py "Javernieres Aux Pierres" 750ml

The 2023 Morgon Côte du Py Javernières Aux Pierres, sourced from the lower slopes of Côte du Py near Javernières, sits atop a clay base with rocky schist. The nose is marked by violet petals alongside cool-toned blue and black fruits, toned with sweet soil and Indian spice. This wine is more defined by its structure than its flavor, beginning with pronounced volume on the attack before the tannins begin to assert themselves, carving the way for a long, well-defined and angular development, layered with complexity. Medium to full-bodied and precise, it remains focused, yet the presence of velvety fruit subtly softens the edges, lending a poised and measured presence.
