Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The 2022 Morgon offers up a classic nose of baking spices, plums and juicy cherries, countered with darker tones of violets and licorice. Medium to full-bodied and velvety on the palate, it has plush, rounded tannins and notes orange rind, candied ginger and sweet soil that become more prominent along the back end. This is a succulent wine, with little to no restraint.

Description
Marcel Lapierre Morgon is a natural red wine produced by Domaine Marcel Lapierre in the AOC Morgon appellation in the Beaujolais region. This wine is produced exclusively from the Gamay grape variety, sourced from vineyards over 70 years old. The vineyards are planted on poor, acidic, granitic sandy soils and are farmed according to organic and biodynamic principles, without the use of herbicides or chemical fertilisers.
Winemaking
The winemaking process of Marcel Lapierre Morgon includes a carbonic semi-maceration without addition of SO2 for a period of 10 to 21 days. Alcoholic fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks with indigenous yeasts, followed by malolactic fermentation in used oak barrels. The wine is aged for 9 months in French oak barrels before being bottled unfiltered.
Taste
Marcel Lapierre Morgon has a flavour profile characterised by freshness and fruitiness. On the nose, it displays intense aromas of cherry, violet and a subtle liquorice note, accompanied by balsamic and fresh forest notes. On the palate, it is structured and sweet, with a well-integrated sharp acidity that enhances the hints of fruit and liquorice, as well as a notable minerality that adds complexity and depth to the wine.
This wine is distinguished by its balance and its ability to evolve favourably in the bottle for approximately ten years. It is an ideal accompaniment to aperitifs, cold meats and pasta dishes, and is recommended to be served at a temperature of 14°C to fully appreciate its organoleptic qualities.
