The Morgon Côte du Py is Stéphane Aviron’s most structured, earthy wine, and can age wonderfully for as much as ten years. The grapes are sourced from the slopes of an 1150-foot inactive volcano that is regarded as one of the top terroirs in all of Beaujolais. Vines face due south on a well pitched hillside of pour sandy soil.
Grapes are vinified separately until time for the final blending and bottling. The must is macerated in temperature controlled stainless steel vats for 12-15 days and then aged for 12 months in a combination of new and used oak casks.
Offering up aromas of cassis, dark cherries, pencil lead and baking chocolate, the 2016 Morgon Côte du Py Vieilles Vignes is medium to full-bodied, concentrated and firm, with a chewy finish that will demand some patience
