Marcel Lapierre - Morgon - Camille - Red - 2023

Wine:

From a single hectare of vines on the famed Côte du Py, the 2023 Red Morgon Camille is a rare gem. Vinified with the same meticulous care as the estate’s traditional Morgon, it undergoes an extended maceration in 100% tronconic wooden vats, adding depth and structure. Bottled unfiltered with minimal sulfur, it reveals delicate aromas of fresh red berries and floral notes, wrapped in a texture that is both profound and refined. A pure expression of this exceptional terroir, crafted in true Lapierre style.

Certified organic wine.

Serve between 16 and 18°C

Food and wine pairing:

Lyonnaise andouillette, charcuterie, grilled beef hanger steak, roast chicken, sweetbreads.

From now until 2033

Marcel Lapierre, a true pioneer, shaped a generation of winemakers and wine lovers. Long before the natural wine movement took off, he championed a new style—vibrant, fruit-driven wines that broke with convention.

In 1981, he made a bold choice: vinifying without sulfur or added yeast and embracing biodynamic farming, eliminating chemical fertilizers and herbicides—a radical approach at the time.

Today, his legacy lives on through his son Mathieu (since 2004) and daughter Camille (since 2013), who continue his work with the same meticulous care, crafting wines with unwavering respect for their 18-hectare estate.
