Louis-Claude Desvignes makes a ridiculously good Morgon. Actually, he makes six ridiculously good Morgons, including three from the famed Côte du Py. These varied, exceptional terroirs gives him enough to play with, with nuances Desvignes is almost preternaturally adept at expressing – perhaps because his family has been making wine in Morgon since the 1700s. The house style is not the easy, candied “carbonic” style favored by many in the region; like Fleurie’s Anne-Sophie Dubois, Desvignes prefers to express his terroir in a more classical, Burgundian approach, though he eschews oak for concrete.

Professional Reviews

"From a more clay-rich sector than the rest of the schistic Cote du Py that is increasingly being thought of as its best portion, Desvignes’s 2009 Morgon Javernieres is not destined for bottling before the end of the year. Black fruits, smoky black tea, peat, game, and crushed stone inform a rather firmly though finely tannic; long and impressively-concentrated; but far from superficially sweet palate. There is promise of further complexity there, but I wonder whether such long elevage is best for a wine already rather dark and oxidative in personality (and I’ll refrain from reporting for now on a longer-fermented, special old vines lot similarly destined for bottling and almost inscrutably dense this past April)." -David Schildknecht
