Domaine Louis-Claude Desvignes Javernières Morgon "Les Impénitents" 2022

Guide RVF des Meilleurs Vins de France 2025 (August 2024): 97/100. Les Impénitents is a quintessence of Morgon, a pure concoction of rock. Dark today, it will reveal itself over 30 years.

The Robert Parker's Wine Advocate (K. Wells, May 2024), 95/100. The 2022 Morgon Côte du Py Les Impénitents stands out as one of the finest from the 2022 vintage, leaping from the glass with aromas of ripe blackberries, candied peel, dried jasmine, rose petals and thyme. On the palate, the wine is medium to full-bodied and laced with succulent acids and fine wispy tannins, opening to reveal a layered mid-palate complex with flavor. It has a subtle tension that binds the flesh seamlessly with its structural components. The wine is long on the palate with a persistence of flavor that elegantly fades out on the finish. This is a wine of true harmony. DRINK DATE 2025-2040."

History: Domaine Louis-Claude Desvignes in Beaujolais is like its stones: robust, worn and rejuvenated by time, everything remains fixed and evolves constantly. It is behind this portal from 1722 and this typical vault of old winemaker houses that wines that are both surprising and powerful, the Morgon, age and improve.

Eight generations have succeeded each other at the Domaine Louis-Claude Desvignes and have passed on this know-how that draws from tradition and enriches itself through perpetual questioning.

WARNING: the capsule of this bottle is made of food-grade wax. To open it under the best conditions, push your corkscrew directly through the wax, and once it is well into the cork, pull sharply (without using the lever if you have a waiter’s friend), in short, “the old-fashioned way.” This is my best way to avoid “crumbs” in the bottle!
