Louis Claude Desvignes 2023 Morgon Cote du Py "Javernieres Les Impenitents" 750ml

Emerging from venerable 110-year-old vines, the 2023 Morgon Côte du Py Les Impénitents stands as a testament to quiet depth and complexity. It unveils supple cherry fruit layered with crushed rose petals, licorice, orange spice, forest floor and crushed stone. Telluric at its core, the wine is anchored by a suave structure of fine-grained, tightly knit tannins, gradually revealing intricate layers as it unfolds —evoking an image of the ancient vines drawing quiet wisdom from deep within the earth. It is profound, inviting patient reflection as it gradually reveals itself and promising even greater nuance with a few more years of repose in the cellar.
