DOMINIQUE PIRON MORGON CÔTE du PY 2022

The best parcels on the hill go into this cuvée, while the rest go into his excellent Morgon blend. Year in and year out, this wine astounds with its beautiful cherry fruit seasoned with some earth and spice. Firm, ripe tannins back up the voluptuous fruit to make for a delicious wine that drinks well young, but will age with the best that Burgundy has to offer. After a few years in the bottle, it will begin to pinoter, or act like Pinot Noir. From this point on, notes of leather and mushrooms will enhance the cherry qualities to make for a marvelous “burgundian” experience. Great value!

"Welcome to the dark side of the Morgon force! Really concentrated, but with great mineral freshness, the fine tannins giving it excellent complexity on the medium-bodied palate. Just a hint of bitter chocolate at the vibrant and super-long wet-stone finish. Matured 80% in tank and 20% in wooden casks."

"This Morgon from Côte du Py has structure grounded in restraint. The wine opens with black plum and raspberry backed by spring forest floor and subtle, black-tea aromas. Silky in texture, the wine reveals complex layers of fruit with some dried field-herb notes on the finish."

"Côte du Py always seems to come with a deep, under-the-mountain hum that speaks of echoing caverns and hewn-out black rocks glistening with the drip of aquifers. This is no exception; comes complete with Côte de Py's blueberry fruit, feather-soft tannins and a cold, quiet stillness at its centre. Spine-tingling. A stunningly beautiful wine."

"Fine Morgon with fresh, pure fruit and intriguing aromatics. Sweet blueberry jam, white pepper and bay leaf notes. Bright acidity, grippy tannins and a mineral finish balanced with expertly managed oak."
