Domaine Louis-Claude Desvignes Morgon Côte du Py 2023

RVF Guide to the Best Wines of France 2026 (Sept. 2025) : 94/100. The Desvignes family delivers high-level wines in 2023. Côte du Py shows density for the lieu-dit, but the aging potential is there.

The Robert Parker's Wine Advocate (K. Wells, March 2025) : 92+/100. The 2023 Morgon Côte du Py reveals a complex bouquet of cherries, plums, eucalyptus, and dried petals. On the palate, it showcases a distinct freshness, with black pepper and anise tying in with the acidulated black fruits. Smooth-coated yet firm tannins guide the wine through a defined progression. It carries a sense of deep-rooted intensity as if drawing stability from the earth itself. This grounded character imparts a subtle tension that builds steadily, outlasting other elements and driving the finish. Complex and refined, this is a wine that will flourish with further time in the bottle. DRINK DATE 2026-2036.
