The 2022 Morgon Côte du Py has an absolutely delightful bouquet. Much more charming than the Corcelette, it shows exquisite delineation with perfumed, mineral-laced red fruit. The palate is medium-bodied with fine-boned tannins, very focused with a touch of Indian spice toward the detailed finish. This has a long life ahead. It’s so refined and elegant. 2026 - 2040
The 2022 Cote du Py from Burgaud is chock full of potential but needs a decant at this early stage. Mid purple in colour, the nose is flinty and has pulpy purple fruit, together with ripe strawberry and red cherry tones. The palate is initially tight with a very slight spritz from a litte protective CO2, but this dissipates with a decant, opening up beautifully to reveal layers of supple red, blue and black fruits. The tannins are persistent but fine and ripe, balancing the wine's layered and delicious fruit. A wine that justifies its cru status with a real sense of place, either decant for an hour or give it a year to 18 months in bottle before approaching.
