+ ALL ITS OTHER CUVEES IN STOCK

Domaine Marcel Lapierre Morgon "Camille" red 2024

The wines signed by Lapierre all deserve to be decanted a few hours before tasting.

Technical sheet written by the domaine :

With only 1.0540 hectares in production, the Cuvée Camille comes from an old parcel on the Côte du Py (with a southwest exposure, in shallow soil). The grapes go through the same meticulous steps as our Morgon, except that the maceration will be longer and done 100% in a truncated wooden vat. This cuvée was born upon Camille Lapierre's (daughter of Marcel) return to the domaine, but it is also a nod to her grandfather Camille (Marcel's father).

GRAPE VARIETY: Gamay noir à jus blanc
 
SURFACE: 1 Hectare
 
FARMING: Vines certified organic
 
HARVEST: Manual. Carefully sorted.
 
VINIFICATION: Traditional semi-carbonic maceration without SO2 or added yeast, lasting 24 days in a truncated wooden vat.
 
AGING: In old 216-liter barrels for 9 months. Then bottled: Unfiltered but lightly sulfited.
 
AROMATIC PROFILE: Wine with dominant aromas of fresh red fruits. Beautiful length with more floral aromas.

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!
