Tasting notes
Dark magenta. Expansive red and blue fruit, violet, exotic spice and mineral qualities on the smoky nose. Appealingly sweet black raspberry, boysenberry and floral pastille flavors deepen and take on a spicy aspect as the wine opens up. Shows excellent clarity and solid thrust on an impressively long, subtly chewy finish that features sneaky tannins and lingering blue fruit character.

The 2018 Morgon Côte du Py is showing very well, mingling aromas of black cherries and cassis with subtle hints of grilled meats and exotic spices. Medium to full-bodied, velvety and layered, it's deep and nicely concentrated, with lively acids and powdery structuring tannins. It's a step up in depth and incipient complexity over the estate's regular Morgon.
About the producer
