The 2024 Morgon Javernières, from vines averaging 35-40 years on the iron-rich clays of the lower Py, has a deep ruby color: here too this is one of the fine terroirs of the cru, a fine sector indeed. The scents are notably lifted by the violet that crowns this juice, while its extra flesh and its substance make for a dense, full-bodied wine, of lovely volume, without excess of tannin, on the contrary a fine mastery and a sense of élevage that suits it perfectly. I like its power and the intensity of its core. Keep it another three or four years before opening, then drink it over the next 20 years. Drink 2030-2050.

Varietal Gamay

Gamay, a red grape varietal primarily associated with Beaujolais in France, is celebrated for its vibrant and approachable character. What makes Gamay unique is its immediate charm and versatility, offering wines that are light-bodied yet bursting with flavor. Known for its low tannins and high acidity, Gamay wines are exceptionally food-friendly and often enjoyed slightly chilled. The grape expresses red fruit flavors such as cherry, raspberry, and sometimes a subtle hint of banana. Beaujolais Nouveau, a young and fruity style of wine released just weeks after harvest, exemplifies Gamay’s exuberant nature. Beaujolais Crus, like Morgon and Fleurie, showcase the grape’s ability to produce wines with depth and complexity. Gamay’s allure lies in its quaffable and joyous character, making it a favorite for those seeking easy-drinking reds. The varietal’s adaptability to various winemaking styles and its delightful expression of fruit-forward characteristics contribute to its popularity, offering wine enthusiasts an accessible and delightful entry into the world of red wines.

Appellation Beaujolais

Beaujolais, nestled in the southern part of Burgundy, France, is a distinct wine region renowned for its vibrant and approachable red wines crafted primarily from the Gamay grape.

Beaujolais Nouveau, released just weeks after harvest, is a celebrated tradition, offering a preview of the vintage's fresh and fruity characteristics. The region's granitic soils contribute to Gamay's expressiveness, yielding wines bursting with red fruit flavors, floral notes, and a delightful acidity. Beaujolais showcases a spectrum of styles, from the light and quaffable Beaujolais-Villages to the more structured crus. Exploring Beaujolais unveils the charm of these wines, reflecting the region's convivial spirit and the versatility of the Gamay grape.

90-92 The 2024 Morgon Javernières 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.

Winery Notes

100% Gamay. Desvignes has 2 hectares of eastern-exposed vines averaging 40 years old in the historic Morgon lieu-dit of Javernières at the foot of the famous hill of the Côte 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 Côte 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.
