Morgon Côte du Py Laurent Guillet Domaine de la Chaponne 2022

Côte du Py is Morgon's grandest vineyard and, to many a mind more knowledgeable than ours, the grandest site in all of Beaujolais. The soil is so nutrient poor here that the vines need to go deep for what they need. This extra effort by them results in wines that are more energetic, flavourful and concetrated. Chaponne's vines are at least 60 years age old and produce a juicy wine that is intense with ripe cherry, strawberry and cranberry fruits as well as a spice and pepper finish. Looking for a serious drop of French red without blowing the bank? Look no further.
