Domaine Louis Claude Desvignes
Louis-Claude
Desvignes, a 7th generation vigneron, is currently producing some of the
finest Morgons in the appellation. His vineyards are situated on the
Montagne de Py in the centre of Morgon, where the fruit is of far
superior quality to that produced in the outlying areas of the appellation. He
has several plots located on the best exposition of the hill, with soil of
decomposed schist.
Louis Claude has handed over the day-to-day running of the property to his charming daughter Claude Emmanuelle.
Claude Emmanuelle harvests later than other vignerons in the appellation with the intention of obtaining fruit of optimal ripeness. The wine is vinified by the traditional cru Beaujolais method with a grille to keep the cap submerged. Recently, the fermentation has been longer and more controlled than in the past, in order to extract the deep colour and depth of fruit that are the hallmarks of his wines.
The wines are delicious in youth but will also amply reward cellaring for up to 5 years.
