The 2023 Maison Piron Morgon Côte du Py is a powerful and age-worthy Gamay from one of Beaujolais’ most iconic vineyard sites. Sourced from the renowned Côte du Py, a hillside known for its ancient blue volcanic and schist-rich soils, this wine showcases the depth and structure that have made Morgon one of the region’s most respected crus. The nose reveals aromas of black cherry, raspberry and blackberry, layered with floral notes, spice and subtle graphite-like minerality.
On the palate, it is concentrated yet beautifully balanced, with vibrant dark berry flavours, fine tannins and refreshing acidity. Hints of pepper, earth and crushed stone add complexity, while the finish is long, savoury and mineral-driven. While approachable with decanting, this is a wine with excellent cellaring potential.
Ben’s Recommendation: At Wine More Cellars, this is a fantastic choice for customers looking to experience one of Beaujolais’ benchmark crus. Offering more depth and structure than a typical Beaujolais, it can be enjoyed now or cellared for 8–10 years. Perfect with roast duck, lamb, game meats, mushroom dishes or classic French cuisine.
