Dom Desvignes Morgon Saint Vincent 2022

TRUE TO ITS REGION AND TO THE GAMAY GRAPE, THIS CRU BEAUJOLAIS IS A CUT ABOVE

 

"A mix from just under 5-hectares of various plots in the north of the appellation, the 2022 Morgon la Voûte Saint Vincent, has a perfumed nose of red cherries, kirsch, and tangerine scents. The palate is medium-bodied, harmonious and quite fleshy with very supple tannins and gentle grip. Mulberry and black cherries mix with white pepper towards the finish. This should drink well over 5-7 years." - Vinous

 

"100% Gamay. The beginning of the Desvignes range is "La Voûte Saint Vincent", named for the vault or "voûte" of the old family house and for the patron saint of winemakers. It is a blend of certified-organic estate parcels totalling 4.5 hectares in the climat of Douby, which lies in the northeast corner of Morgon along the border of Fleurie. The La Voûte vines average 45 years old and are planted in sandy, decomposed-granite soils. Harvest is manual. The bunches are generally left about 50% whole-cluster and 50%-destemmed and gently pressed into closed concrete vats for a partly carbonic fermentation; maceration is 10-12 days with a submerged cap and no punchdowns. A very small amount of sulfur is added after malo and sometimes at bottling. The wine is aged in concrete vat fro 7 months and bottled with a light, non-sterile filtration." - Domaine Desvignes
