Marcel Lapierre’s Morgon stands as a benchmark for natural Beaujolais. From old Gamay vines on granite soils in Villié-Morgon, the 2018 was crafted with native yeasts and minimal sulfur, continuing Lapierre’s legacy of purity and transparency.

Aged in used oak foudres, it captures Morgon’s depth while remaining bright and lifted. This is classic Lapierre: a soulful, age-worthy Gamay that exemplifies the best of cru Beaujolais.

Professional Reviews

Antonio Galloni

"Glistening ruby. Mineral-inflected red/blue fruits on the assertively perfumed nose, along with incense, exotic spices and fresh flowers. Alluringly sweet and penetrating, offering intense boysenberry and raspberry flavors braced by juicy acidity. Fine-grained tannins add spine to a wonderfully long, sappy finish that strongly repeats the floral and mineral notes." -Josh Raynolds

Robert Parker

RP 90
"The 2018 Morgon saw a small sulfur dioxide addition just before bottling, and while it exhibits similar aromas of cherries, berries and rose petals, it's a bit more reserved on the palate, with a touch less immediate flesh on its medium to full-bodied frame and its powdery tannins a little more prominent. I suspect that after another six months the two bottlings will be indistinguishable." -William Kelley

"Pale smudgy garnet colour (and beautifully simple label). This wine is so pure and gorgeous! But gosh how the price has risen since I bought a case only a few vintages ago. It's a great advertisement for minimal intervention and purity. Direct fruit and not a trace of oak. Long and reverberant. Already drinkable but there is no hurry whatsoever." -Jancis Robinson

Decanter

"Very perfumed, with notes of violet and potpourri. On the palate it is dry, zesty and fresh with lively fruit and pleasant persistent finish." -Sarah Jane Evans MW
