Medium ruby colour. Aromas of black cherry, cassis, pomegranate. High acidity, medium+ tannins. Medium body and long finish. Has further ageing potential.

Very old vines here at the property. Just a touch animal and just a touch of that salt and pepper thing to the nose. I am being told bright red fruits but that isn't what I am getting. A little touch of a clunker. Kinda brooding. Dark, mysterious, kinda annoyingly so.

Retail $28. 100% Gamay. This was the fourth bottle of six that I opened with Dubœuf's export manager on a 9:30 (that would be a.m.) Zoom call today. This Jean-Ernest Descombes Morgon Côte de Py is perhaps the most widely recognized wine in the Domaines/Châteaux portfolio at Dubœuf as well as one of the longest relationships, spanning close to sixty years. I have tried many iterations of this wine and this 2018 is particularly enticing. Here are my notes from May: "Cassis and blackberry in over-abundance with black pepper and crushed granite on the nose. Whoa. The palate is even more worthy of a Whoa (if that is a thing), with rich dark fruit, lip-smacking tartness, and noticeable tannins, which is both fairly rare in modern Beaujolais and also an indication of the aging potential (5 years easy, perhaps 10). Whoa." And all of that still holds true. Whoa. thedrunkencyclist.com

Cool fruit, massaging mineral texture on the tongue, great value. If you are a fan of gamay at all, you need to get a bunch of this to drink now and a bunch to store. There is grip here to ride out at least 3-5 years no problem, likely more.
