MATHIEU & CAMILLE LAPIERRE
Morgon 2023
- 90 points -
The 2023 Morgon opens on the nose with a signature Lapierre vibrancy, revealing fragrant lavender, crushed petals and vanilla. Layers of ripe raspberries, licorice and blueberries emerge, accompanied by a subtle wave of volatile acidity that many will perceive as invigorating. Medium to full-bodied on the palate, this vintage showcases notably lush fruit and a pleasing density, deftly supported by ripe, integrated tannins and bright acidity. Indeed, so vibrant and expressive is its character that, tasted blind, it might easily be mistaken for the cuvée without added sulfur.
