This wine opens with muddled rose petal, black cherry, hibiscus and boysenberry. Velvety in texture, it bathes in concentrated black fruit on the midpalate with an undercurrent of grippy tannins. The wine reveals the subtleties that a cool vintage can provide. Put this wine down and revisit after 2026
A firm Cote du Py with grilled mushroom and toast undertones to the dark plum fruit and tobacco aromas. It’s medium-bodied, savory and compact. Drink or hold.
A wine with black fruits and immense structure, this comes from the iconic Côte du Py slope in Morgon. The wine is rich, packed with tannins as much as fruit. It will age, so don’t drink before 2026.
What a beautiful nose of red fruits, summer flowers, spice and blood orange this Morgon has! Concentrated, elegant and precise on the medium-bodied palate, this has so much vitality and very good aging potential. Moderately dry tannins and vanilla at the long finish.
Notions of blackberries, dark chocolate, spices, vine smoke, peonies and licorice introduce the 2020 Morgon Côte du Py, a full-bodied, rich and muscular wine that’s the most brooding, wild wine in the Château des Jacques’ range, with an entirely different personality from the estate’s Moulin-à-Vent bottlings.
