  By the bottle at Parcelles in Paris. This is the ‘S’ version. I think I read somewhere that they didn’t make any ‘N’ in 2015 because it was a tough year. Nose is a bit shy, hints of cranberry and sweet green herbs. Definitely doesn’t have the explosiveness of other Lapierre Morgon I have had but I’m not sure if that’s because it’s Cuvée S or maybe it’s in an awkward phase right now. The palate is really nice though. Smooth and nicely balanced with cola and bay leaf, dried cranberries and violets. Nice length on the finish. Drinking really well right now just maybe not transformative.

  PnP. Really hasn't changed that much from my note of nearly seven years ago: still elegant, still the lighter side of medium-bodied, etc. CT says I still have a couple remaining, and if that's the case, I'll endeavor to enjoy them in the coming 2 years; no real reason to hold (this particular vintage) beyond that. Aromas and flavors skew to the late secondary offerings at this point. 13,5% abv., easily recommended

  At the opening, big pearling sensation, the wine is almost sparkling.
  
  3 hours later, only this sensation remains, integrated into the wine, but the sparkling has disappeared.
  
  Intense nose of cherry, wild strawberry and peony.
  
  Supple but crunchy on the palate. The juice is tangy, with delicious aromas of very pronounced red fruits. The wine is juicy on the blood orange after 3 hours of aeration. The beading gives it an airy side. It's quite elegant, quite a far cry from the massive fruit bombs I've tasted previously, with good balance. Strawberry and orange finish with good length.
  
  A very beautiful mature Beaujolais.

  Needed a bit of air to dissipate some funk, but then just blossomed, with sensational combination of dark cherry, blackberry, earth, mineral, and as time went on floral notes. The purity of fruit on the palate was terrific, and coupled with fine acidity made it 'mouthwatering' in the best way, with fine length and finish. Really enjoyable.
