Domaine Laurent Gauthier
Vieilles Vignes Côte du Py Morgon Gamay
Smells like black tea infused dirt.
With some black cherries and crushed black rock.There’s some leather musty funk as it warms/opens.
The palate is crisp, black, medium weight, just slight tannins give a lil’ tug. A nice snap of acidity on the back, dark finish after a full mouth. Deep red to black fruits, not rich, but appropriate in inner mouth weight. Long mineral finish.
With a slight cool, it’s delicious on a smokey* night. A fine example of mid tier( maybe slightly higher) vielles vignes Morgon.
Thanks@ Garagiste

N: black cherry, raspberry, white pepper, a little game
B: + a little blackberry, bramble, and just the right amount of funk

Fresh & enticing on the nose with dark cherries, a touch of undergrowth, a spicy whiff and a rocky, mineral streak. So fresh.
On the palate this is fruit forward with dark cherry, mulberry and huckleberry and with austere minerality at the same time. Focused & precise. And crunchy fresh.
This is very food friendly and deliciously drinkable. A brilliant Gamay.
