Description
Jean-Paul Brun strives to make wines of beauty and elegance that are true expressions of their Beaujolais terroir, with age-worthy structures. This Morgon Côte du Py has all these qualities. The Côte du Py vineyard is one of Morgon`s prime plots, being east south-east facing, with complex soils of granite, schists and clay. Jean-Paul tends to 1 hectare of 60-year-old vines here, lying in the Javernières subsection.
Pale ruby-purple colour, aromas are attractively fragrant, evoking black cherries, with a floral, black pepper tone. Palate is full, finely textured and richly rounded. There is vibrant, concentrated, red berry fruitiness, and a long, refreshing finish (for drinking 2024-2028+).
“[This is] a formal, structured, ‘Burgundy-like’ wine with a deep, dark chassis and a series of refreshing tannic waves that rev the palate, demanding great grub and terrific company. This is a celebratory Beaujolais with volume and flair, and it performs like a superstar and will evolve, too, given time. Just brilliant.”
