Blackberry flintstone vitamin nose. Palate is incredible, textured, concentrated like sweet and tart cherry juice. Concentrated but totally silky, shimmering and transparent. A tiny bit of apple candy. Then this real mineral cut and tension in the mouth, leading to some fine prickly tannic spice, zingy and almost mouth-numbing like prickly ash. Masterful. Reminds me why we drink Beaujolais. The last few vintages I think Lapierre has been knocking it out of the park. This may be the best yet for me. Tremendous, and I think will have 10 years at least, if stored properly.

Drank to a fruit moon. It sang back. Laser sharp bright fruit. Uplifting. I’ll give my next one more time as I’m sure the focus will broaden with short time cellaring.

Classic Lapierre Morton. One of my faves. 2019 needs some more time. Stay tuned in a few months for a more expressive gamay.

Superlative. Complex red and black licorice, herbs, bright fruit. Like candy, herbal, complex. Blonde tobacco, hint of smoke. Limpid ruby.

Quite light ruby , quite light pink watery rim . Quite floral and exuberant nose , with wild strawberry , violet and blueberry notes. On the palate juicy with strawberry , raspberry , spiced cherry , good acidity and nice juicy balanced length , soft tannins . Well made and moreish . Drink now and over the next few years

Goodness this is SO MUCH better than the no-sulphur version. The fruit is pure and shines through, it’s fresh, small red and black berries, bramble fruit, a fizzy quality to it, a touch of aperol orange peel, velvet-smooth yet fresh palate. Fantastic expression of pure Morgon fruit not hidden by overt funk
