2019 M. et C. Lapierre, Morgon

The M. et C. Lapierre Morgon 2019 masterfully showcases the Gamay grape as a benchmark Cru Beaujolais. Hailing from the esteemed Morgon AOC, characterized by its unique decomposed granite soils, the challenging 2019 vintage, marked by early frosts and summer drought, ultimately produced a wine of notable structure and concentration. Following the natural wine philosophy pioneered by Marcel Lapierre and carried on by Mathieu and Camille, the estate champions organic viticulture, old vines, hand-harvesting, and minimal intervention. This dedication to authenticity, through methods like semi-carbonic maceration and aging in old oak, yields a distinctive Morgon that profoundly expresses its terroir with remarkable depth and age-worthiness.
