2021 Domaine des Gaudets Morgon Cote du Py

Winemaker Notes: Domaine des Gaudets Morgon is entirely within the Cru of Morgon, in Beaujolais. Here, Christophe Sornay is the fifth generation to take over the family vineyards. The Cote du Py is a little tiny section of Morgon that is entirely granite. And you see, that is the key to this Beaujolais’s magnificence. The granitic soil gives this wine a regal, powerful intensity, while still preserving its mineral-kissed fruit. Or, as Christophe describes it, “the fruit of a Beaujolais, the charm of a Bourgogne.” But you know all this, having purchased before.

2020 is a beautiful expression of this wine - gorgeous perfume to Morgon Beaujolais, and this is no exception. Spice, strawberries, hints at evergreen pour from the glass and fill the room with their beautiful scents. The palate is full and rounded, with downright pound-able drinking going on here, but also sporting Beaujolais’s characteristic snap and vigor. Light, easy, and supple, you won’t be able to stop drinking it!
