M. Lapierre Morgon: The Definition of Purity and Finesse

The Morgon from Domaine Marcel Lapierre is arguably the most famous wine of the Beaujolais Crus. A pioneer of the 'natural wine' philosophy, the estate, now run by Marcel's children Mathieu and Camille, champions organic viticulture and minimal intervention. This results in an age-worthy Gamay that is a profound and transparent reflection of its granite terroir.

This bottling showcases why Morgon is considered the most substantial of the Crus, offering both immediate, joyful fruit and the tannic structure to evolve beautifully over time.

Tasting Notes

• Colour: Mid-raspberry to bright ruby.
• Nose: Beautifully pure, with a delicate yet intense bouquet of fresh red berries, pomegranate, and a signature lift of violet and spice.
• Palate: Finely sculpted and medium-bodied. The fruit is juicy, balanced by a taut acidity and beautifully resolved, fine-grained tannins. It offers depth and complexity without heaviness.

Food Match & Service

To fully appreciate its elegance, a brief decanting is recommended. Serve lightly cooled, which enhances its vibrant fruit profile and freshness. It is a brilliant match for classic French and British cuisine.

• Serve at: 15-16°C
• Drink Window: Now to 2035
