Tasting notes
The 2020 Morgon Côte du Py has an open nose of black cherry, cassis and violet scents, but it needs a touch more focus. The palate is medium-bodied with angular tannins. It's slightly bitter on the mid-palate with pruney notes implying some overripe fruit, though not too much. Give this a year in bottle.

Full bottle 1,303 g. Cask sample. 100% Gamay on old volcanic rocks and blue stones. Partially destemmed, long vinification with regular punchdowns. Partly aged in barrels and foudres. Bruised iris, earthy, woody, violet-flower scented. This is rather glamorous! The moment it was in my mouth, the only word I could find was 'magnificent'. It tasted, felt, like black-purple silk. Like midnight. Like pewter by candlelight. Smoky yet headily floral – but darkly floral. Pomegranate molasses and souk spice. Black cherries and kohl pencil. A beaujolais channelling the soul of Marrakech. It would be fascinating to taste this with Moroccan food... (TC)
