The estate and the wine
The estate and the wine A benchmark in Morgon with 3 stars in the RVF Guide, Domaine Louis-Claude Desvignes crafts deep, soulful wines that are arguably among the most captivating in the region. Far from any stereotype or shortcut, these wines reflect the fine expression of Morgon’s best terroirs, enhanced by pure, oak-free aging. While firm in their youth, this only hints at their incredible aging potential!
Wine A new cuvée from the estate, produced here for the 4th time, the 2023 Red Morgon Côte du Py Javernières Aux Pierres comes from a stony terroir in the beautiful Javernières area, rich in clay and deep manganese. The 90-year-old vines provide remarkable depth, consistency, and volume, while aging in ovoid concrete vats preserves the pure, expressive, and radiant fruit. With 100% whole-cluster fermentation, the juice is sumptuous and fleshy, marked by notes of violet and spices. A Morgon built for aging, without a doubt.
Vinification Hand-harvested, traditional vinification using whole grapes.
Aged in concrete eggs for 10 months.
