February 19, 2024 - 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.
January 15, 2024 - 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
July 26, 2023 - 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.
July 1, 2023 - 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.
June 3, 2023 - I must say that this cru Beaujolais must be one of the best wine bargains around. It is still singing after 8 years and probably will be just as delicious a few years down the road. To those people that put their noses down at Beaujolais, please stay away, that means more delicious wine for me and my
Beaujolais loving friends.
April 22, 2023 - Décanté 1h avant consommation. Bouquet: un mix fruit/fleurs assez équivalent entre la cerise et le couple iris / pivoine.C'est assez intense et plaisant.La bouche est souple,élégante avec les mêmes arômes.Ce vin a atteint son apogée et n'ira pas plus haut.Un bémol cependant: ce côté acidulé en bouche me dérange un peu alors que d'autres le trouveront attrayant.Certes,le vin est vinifié selon des normes "nature" mais est néanmoins légèrement soufré comme mentionné sur l'étiquette.Voilà pourquoi la note finale n'est pas plus haute.
April 6, 2023 - Impressive Lapierre Morgon. Cherry, earth and just a touch of brett. (which i didn't mind) Great mouth feel with a persistent finish. Classic Beaujolais Morgon typicity. These wines age well. I wish i had more Lapierre 2015's.
March 30, 2023 - Ruby red in color. 13.5% ABV. Pretty nose of red fruits, citrus and forest floor. Medium body with perfect acidity. Fresh, vibrant and earthy. Cherry, blood orange, spearmint and black tea on the palate. Exceptional length on the finish. Really compelling Beaujolais that has only gotten better since my last bottle a little over a year ago. Best over the next several years.
March 30, 2023 - Fantastic. Barnyard, delicious sweet gamay fruit, very French character.
"S" bottling.
March 23, 2023 - Absolutely amazing. This is why you need to wait at least 7-8 years on those Morgon.
Open, decant 1h and then enjoy. Super intense, long. Very nice fruit. I need more
