The 2023 Vignobles Ludovic Pierrot Morgon Lieu-Dit Bellevue is a biodynamically farmed Gamay from the renowned Morgon cru in Beaujolais, sourced from the Bellevue vineyard site. Known for producing wines with both vibrant fruit and impressive structure, Morgon is often regarded as one of Beaujolais’ most age-worthy appellations. Ludovic Pierrot’s focus on terroir expression and minimal intervention allows the distinctive character of this site to shine through.
On the palate, it is fresh and beautifully balanced, with flavours of black cherry, raspberry and wild strawberry layered with notes of violet, spice and subtle earthy undertones. The texture is silky yet structured, supported by fine tannins and bright acidity that bring energy and precision. Typical of quality Morgon, the wine combines immediate fruit appeal with a savoury depth that emerges through the long, persistent finish.
Ben’s Recommendation: At Wine More Cellars, this is an excellent choice for customers looking to explore a more serious and terroir-driven expression of Beaujolais. Its combination of vibrant fruit, freshness and subtle complexity makes it highly versatile with food while offering the potential to develop further complexity over time. Best enjoyed now or over the next 5–8 years. Pair with roast chicken, duck breast, pork loin, charcuterie, mushroom dishes or soft-ripened cheeses.
