Domaine Louis-Claude Desvignes occupies an 18th-century house in Villie-Morgon with a vaulted cellar dating to 1722. The Desvignes family has made wine here since the Middle Ages; after Louis-Claude's passing in 2021, the eighth generation—Claude-Emmanuel and Louis-Benoit—now runs the certified organic estate. Corcelette is one of Morgon's six renowned lieux-dits, sitting at 430 meters on pure pink granite soil. Whole-cluster, semi-carbonic maceration in concrete with submerged cap, minimal sulfur, aged 10-16 months on fine lees. The house style is classical and Burgundian rather than the candied carbonic style common in Beaujolais. Dark cherry and raspberry with freshness for immediate pleasure but capacity to age and "pinotize" over time. For roasted poultry or charcuterie.

Professional Reviews

Antonio Galloni

AG 90
"The 2024 Morgon Corcelette, which suffered the greatest loss in this vintage, cropped at 20hl/ha, is more expressive and vivacious on the nose than the Saint-Vincent: pretty red cherries and wild strawberries unfold in the glass. The palate is very pure on the entry with supple tannins, a keen thread of acidity and a touch of graphite towards the soft landing on the finish." -Neal Martin

What importer Bowler Wine has to say about this wine...

100% Gamay. This bottling from the celebrated climat of Corcelette is the first Desvignes wine from sourced, organically farmed fruit. Desvignes harvests the fruit by hand from a 0.8-hectare plot of 50-year-old vines on poor, sandy pink granite soils on a south-facing slope (see the dark green swatch on the gorgeous label) in the western part of Corcelette near the border of the climat of St. Joseph. The bunches are 80% destemmed and placed into closed concrete vats for a partly carbonic fermentation; maceration is 13-14 days with a submerged cap and no punchdowns. A very small amount of sulfur (1-2 grams/hectoliter) is added after malo and sometimes at bottling. The wine is aged in cement tank for 7 months and bottled with a light, non-sterile filtration.
