Côte du Py Morgon Gamay
In the zone. Nose of bright and sour cherry, spice, cherry syrup. Ethereal and rich. Mesmerizing. Elite as usual. Really showing well at almost 8. Palate is so juicy and clean. Bursting with ripe cherries and powdery tannins. Sneaky persistence. Fruit really is pure. Amazing energy. Always masterful.

Dec 4th, 2020Love this wine! Tart cherry, with earthy undertones and a hint of corruption. Great length and generosity.

magnum bottle 5/30/20
Served slightly chilled with grilled chicken. Still young and fresh from the 1.5ml. Sour cherry and cranberry fruit. Some brett but not very funky. Heavily reduced. High acidity like most of the 13’s. Very happy with how this bottle performed. This is one of the greatest examples of a natural wine.
