Desvignes, Louis-Claude 2024 Morgon Corcelette

This relatively new wine from the Desvignes estate comes from the famous climat of Corcelette in northern Morgon. The parcel is made up of 45+-year-old vines on sandy pink granite soils on a southeast-facing hillside in the western part of Corcelette, a vineyard that seems to give a bright and vibrant style of Morgon. This is a full, quite deep-colored Morgon, with punchy black cherry and cooked raspberry fruit and a snap of acidity reminiscent of plum skin. There is plenty of weight and breadth in the mid-palate and the texture is lovely and fine-grained a hall mark of this vineyard site and the sandy soils. There are hints of cooling herbs and spice on the finish that add lift and energy, with sapid, juicy fruit through and through.
