Louis Claude Desvignes Javernieres Morgon 2024

Organic

90-92 points Vinous
The 2024 Morgon Javernieres has a well-defined and complex bouquet that equals the previous vintage or is perhaps better, with red and black fruit, crushed stone and light graphite aromas. The palate is medium-bodied with pliant tannins and a keen line of acidity, though it just misses a little depth and grip on the finish.
Desvignes has 2 hectares of eastern-exposed vines averaging 40 years old in the historic Morgon lieu-dit of Javernieres at the foot of the famous hill of the Cote du Py. The soils are much heavier and stickier with deep, iron-rich red clay here versus the more schistous "rotten rock" up the Py hill. The exposure is also more easterly; the wines tend to be dense but soft and more red-toned and elegant versus the darker, more muscular, older-vine ones off of the Cote du Py. Viticulture and vinification are consistent across all Desvignes wines. The vines are certified-organic and harvested by hand. The clusters go through a semi-carbonic maceration in closed concrete vats, with a submerged-cap maceration of 10-14 days. A very small amount of sulfur (1-2 grams/hectoliter) is added after malo and sometimes at bottling. The wine is aged in concrete tank for about 9 months and bottled with a light, non-sterile filtration.
