Wine Reviews

The 2023 Morgon Côte du Py presents a Northern Rhône-inspired nose, with layered aromas of soy sauce, orange zest, licorice, baking spices and a hint of delicate floral petals. On the palate, these intricate flavors intertwine and intensify, creating a compact and concentrated profile.

Full-bodied and with bright acidity, the wine is sappy with black-fruited flavors, toned and lifted by hints of white pepper and a touch of salt, especially noticeable on the finish. The tannins are sizable yet well-spaced, contributing to the wine’s considerable depth.

The 2023 Moulin-à-Vent La Roche reveals aromas of orange liqueur, stewed cherries and crushed rose petals. Full-bodied and generous on the palate, it opens with rounded volume before smooth, compact tannins add structure.

The 2023 Moulin-à-Vent Clos du Grand Carquelin opens with aromas of kirsch, chocolate, dried rose petals and toasted oak spice. The palate reveals a sappy concentration of fruit, with a broad-shouldered attack that leans out into an incisive, vertical progression, commanded by its many smooth but compact tannins.

The 2023 Morgon, aged in a combination of barrels and concrete, opens with aromas of baked cherries, sweet soil and oak spices. On the palate, it is medium to full-bodied, with ripe acidity and displaying a refreshing fluidity among its sappy concentration of fruit.
