The estate and the wine
The estate and the wine A benchmark in Morgon and awarded 3 stars by the RVF Guide, Domaine Louis-Claude Desvignes crafts profound and sensitive wines, certainly among the most moving in their region. Far from any archetype or simplicity, they capture the fine expression of Morgon's best terroirs, nurtured with a refined, wood-free aging process that imparts a certain firmness in youth, hinting at their enormous potential.

Anyone who has tasted the wines crafted by the sibling duo Claude-Emmanuelle and Louis-Benoît Desvignes has experienced a special emotion. A favorite of Parker in Beaujolais, who highly recommends "these sumptuous wines that embody everything brilliant about Morgon," they are definitely worth seizing without hesitation.
Wine Intense and wonderfully aromatic, the Morgon Côte du Py Rouge 2022 unveils a beautiful nose brimming with black fruits, spices, pepper, and blackcurrant coulis. Eschewing modern trends and excessive ripeness, it unfolds a fresh, precise, and dense juice. The flowing, shimmering fruit is embedded in a substantial body bordered by beautiful tannins, highlighting the magnificent terroir of Morgon. It's a wine to be leisurely enjoyed over 15 years. Rated 93/100 by the Committee.
Vinification Hand-harvested, vinified in cement vats and aged for 9 months.
