    Lactic nose and palate.Quite peppery with nice strawberry. Floral (violets) and spicy (cinnamon).
    Darker fruit than the 2007. Nice to drink.

  • 2007 Marcel Lapierre Morgon Cuvée Mathieu

    France, Burgundy, Beaujolais, Morgon

    Could not find any info on that cuvee, named after his son.
    More energy and acidity than the 2005. Plenty of floral notes on the nose as well as some herbs.
    Drinking very well now.

  • 2006 Louis Claude Desvignes Morgon Javernières

    France, Burgundy, Beaujolais, Morgon

    Nice balance and structure. Definitely darker than the Lapierre and Foillard.
    Some coffee notes. Good grip on the finish.
    Closed for the moment and needs time.

Flight 2 (3 Notes)

  • 2007 Jean Foillard Morgon Cuvée Corcelette

    France, Burgundy, Beaujolais, Morgon

    From sandy soils. Red fruits, floral notes with strawberry. With air, it's "pinoting". A little darker on the finish. Good structure, soft, elegant and full of energy.
    There's also a light steminess. Nice to compare this cuvee with the regular Cote du Py to see the influence of sandy soil vs schist.

  • 2007 Jean Foillard Morgon Côte du Py

    France, Burgundy, Beaujolais, Morgon

    This is superb. A touch of licorice, nice mix of dark/red fruits with strawberry and blackberry. Great floral lift with violet. Pure with a Chambolle like texture. It's borderline Burgundy but still Beaujolais.

  • 2006 Jean Foillard Morgon Cuvée 3.14

    France, Burgundy, Beaujolais, Morgon

    Very old vines (90 years) from Cote du Py. Raised exactly the same way as the other cuvees: 6 to 8 months in barrels (at least 2 years old) depending on the vintage.
    Somehow hard to tell this is gamay but at the same time, this is a wine that is way too young. There's also an impression of new oak which is quite surprising. Round, plums and cherry, impressive weight.
    This needs serious time !
