What a beautiful and fascinating Morgon! Normally we think of flowers as being light and bright, but some of the floral character in this Morgon is dark and mysterious. However, there’s also a very appealing violet aroma. At once ripe and generous, silky and delicate, this is hard to resist! From organically grown grapes. Unfiltered.

I like the firmness and spicy undertones to this. Complex notes of bark, dried flowers, wild cherries and lemon rind on the nose. Hints of clove. It’s medium-bodied, tight and with tension. Long, savory finish. Unfiltered. Try from 2025.

Ripe aromas of plum and blackberry scented with a saline mineral note and hints of black tea and spice lead into a pleasantly hefty texture with structure, density and length. Although the wine is immediately rewarding, it has the structure to age. The grapes come from one hectare in the Côte de Py climat in poor sandy soils over decomposed schist bedrock; they undergo semi-carbonic maceration for 24 days before alcoholic fermentation and ageing for nine months in used casks to produce this superb example of the type.

he 2021 Morgon Sulphité has a slightly brighter nose, more red fruit (Morello cherries and raspberry) commingling with blood orange. I find less of the oyster shell element juxtaposed against the Non-Sulphité iteration. The tannins are very fine here, with perfect acidity. It is fresh and brittle in texture, with so much vivacity towards the crunchy finish. Wonderful. Initially, I preferred the Non-Sulphité but upon further consideration, this seems to convey more amplitude.

The 2021 Morgon Côte du Py Cuvée Camille offers a mixture of red and black fruit. This is interwoven with wonderful mineralité and tension. The palate is medium-bodied with finely-chiseled tannins. Very saline and certainly extremely precise, blessed with a poised and tensile finish. You can feel the tension in this nascent Morgon.

From the western side of the Côte du Py, the 2022 Morgon Cuvée Camille is a step up in intensity and finesse with aromas of baking spices, red and black cassis, marionberry and lilac petals. Aged in 216-liter used oak barrels, it is medium to full-bodied and rounded on the palate, with a vibrant fruit profile—notes of red plums and tangy elderberry. The tannins are polished but distinct and surely will assimilate nicely over time. As the fruit fades to reveal a trace of fennel, the rounded body simultaneously narrows with crisp salinity that builds in intensity throughout the finish.
