Domaine Marcel Lapierre Morgon 2024

Description

From biodynamically-farmed, decomposed granite vineyards in the Cru of Morgon, the Gamay grapes are picked with a mind for rainbow spectrum fleshy, ripe fruit (blood orange to bright red, and on through to black plum and cherry). Coupled with stony, flinty minerality, a gorgeous core of fine tannin, and fresh acidity. Old practices of viticulture and vinification: starting with old vines, never using synthetic herbicides or pesticides, harvesting late, rigorously sorting to remove all but the healthiest grapes, adding minimal doses of sulfur dioxide or none at all, and disdaining chaptalization. 13.5% ABV
