The 2023 Morgon Côte du Py comes from several parcels of granite and schistous soils with many centurion vines.

Add to cart Producer: HochkirchThe power of blends is clearly evident and this was for me my favorite wine in the Tim Smith line up. The different grapes have complemented each other beautifully. Rich, juicy, hedonistic, fragrant and savory, the Mataro adding smoke, compost and firm, grippy tannins. Controlled power, the shiraz still comes through strongly, a mass of […]
Add to cart Producer: Tim SmithIt is not often we get to taste a wine that is as fine and elegant on the one hand. And on the other hand? Wild intensity coupled with a mineral, earthy, gamey complexity. There really is nothing else like it in Beaujolais. Jean-Paul Thevenet has made one of his grandest wines with this Morgon […]
