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 Originating from the lower part of the Py climat, the Morgon Javernières Rouge 2022 is still marked by the austerity of its youth, but don't be misled: this reserve is just setting the stage for it to multiply and flourish over the years. The notable graphite dimension and the mineral quality of the soils are deeply ingrained in its DNA, with a strong expression of its terroir. It's a wine of texture, full and tight, with firm tannins, ready to be enjoyed in two or three years and over the next fifteen years. A Committee Favorite rated 94/100.
Vinification Hand-harvested, 80% whole grapes, vinified and aged in cement vats.

Certified organic wine.
