Morgon Cote du Py 2021

The 2021 Morgon Côte du Py, matured in used barrels, has a more complex bouquet than the Corcelette: a melange of red and black fruit, potpourri/lavender, and a faint hint of curry leaf that emerges with time. The palate is medium-bodied with grainy tannins and a fine backbone considering the growing season. This is very fresh and saline with quite a strict finish. You could attempt this now though I would be intrigued to age this for another two or three years before broaching.

Fresh and wonderfully fleshy, the 2021 Morgon Côte du Py from Jean Foillard is an absolute delight. Floral and savory notes play off a core of vibrant red and purplish-hued fruits. I can think of many regions where a wine of this quality would command two to three times the price.
