Marcel Lapierre

Morgon Gamay 2023

Popped and poured; enjoyed over the course of an hour. The 2023 (S) pours a deep ruby/purple with a near opaque core; medium viscosity with light staining of the tears. On the nose, the wine is developing with notes of ripe strawberry, Bing cherry, red and purple flowers, red rope licorice, rocky earth and cool spices. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium tannin and medium acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is medium. This vintage of Lapierre shows the warmth of the vintage and oozes generosity. In some ways, this reminds me of the 2015 vintage. Drink now through 2033+. — 7 days ago

@Somm David T They’re up there. Certainly Top 6 for me. Foillard, Metras, Guy Breton, Thivin, Roilette and a few of the new comers are all right up there for me

I have some vintages of Metras. Honored 5th to the Gang of Four. Need to open one soon. Definitely, on the list.

"Cuvée Corcelette" Morgon Gamay 2014

Fruit dominant, not much length. Perhaps a bit exposed, but still very drinkable. — a month ago

Le Clos de Lys Morgon Gamay 2009

Lovely mature red-fruited aromatics and flavors in this lovely Cru Morgon, the ripeness of the 2009 vintage shows through (13.5% ABV vs, the more normal 12.5% ABV), this vintage is holding well, but probably needs to be drunk soon. — 2 months ago

Côte du Py Morgon Gamay 2023

One of my favorite wines I've had recently, the nose is an amazing combination of red fruit, violet, mushrooms and forest floor, all of which transfers to the palate. Fantastic to have with food or to drink on its own and contemplate. Hard to think of a better Beaujolais that I've had than this one — a month ago

Huge amount of fruit. This seemed big and burly. Not what I was expecting from core du Py. Just ok — 2 months ago

P'tit Max Morgon Gamay 2018

Very nice Beaujolais. Was quite curious how this would present given the wide variety of opinions on this wine. Aromatically quite beautiful - delicate flowers, lighter red fruit. Palate follows through nicely. Restrained at this point, and the 14% doesn’t present in any negative way. Long finish with great earthy tannins and good acid. Perfect cold night pairing with a rotisserie chicken. — 2 months ago

It’s been my experience that these need a lot of time to really show their best. I have never tried the 2018 vintage though.
