The 2022 Georges Duboeuf Domaine de Javernière Morgon Côte du Py is a classic Cru Beaujolais that showcases the power and depth of one of the region’s most prestigious terroirs. Sourced from the volcanic, manganese-rich soils of the Côte du Py hill, it reflects a site known for producing more structured, age-worthy expressions of Gamay. The nose is rich and expressive, offering black cherry, raspberry and plum layered with notes of white pepper, spice and warm stone minerality.
On the palate, it is medium to full-bodied with a fleshy yet structured texture and firm, well-integrated tannins. Dark and red fruit flavours are balanced by fresh acidity and a mineral backbone, leading to a long, persistent and elegant finish. The style is more serious and powerful than typical Beaujolais, combining richness with classic Côte du Py structure.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is a standout Cru Beaujolais for customers looking for something with more depth and aging potential than entry-level styles. It’s a great bridge between Beaujolais and Burgundy, offering both drinkability and structure. Drink now with decanting or over the next 5–10 years. Perfect with roast pork, duck, grilled meats or charcuterie.
