Desvignes Morgon Côte du Puy

Louis-Claude was bright-eyed and exuberant, almost vibrating with excitement for the wines he made. Though he passed away in 2021, he’d long since handed the estate over to his sons — Claude-Emmanuel and Louis-Benoît, the eighth generation to work this family’s land in Morgon. These days they bottle 100% of their wines (their dad used to sell about half to négociants) and focus on small, single-parcel expressions of Morgon. This is classic Côte du Py energy: dark red fruit on the nose with cinnamon, iron-like mineral, and resinous herbs, plus firm but fine tannins that promise a beautiful future in the cellar — if you can resist opening it now. 😉

We love it with… BBQ, smash burgers, grilled portobello mushrooms
