Wine Reviews

The 2023 Morgon Côte du Py presents a Northern Rhône-inspired nose, with layered aromas of soy sauce, orange zest, licorice, baking spices and a hint of delicate floral petals. On the palate, these intricate flavors intertwine and intensify, creating a compact and concentrated profile.

Full-bodied and with bright acidity, the wine is sappy with black-fruited flavors, toned and lifted by hints of white pepper and a touch of salt, especially noticeable on the finish. The tannins are sizable yet well-spaced, contributing to the wine’s considerable depth.

The 2023 Moulin-à-Vent La Roche reveals aromas of orange liqueur, stewed cherries and crushed rose petals. Full-bodied and generous on the palate, it opens with rounded volume before smooth, compact tannins add structure.

This wine engages and enlivens the senses. Rhubarb and cherry-cola aromas begin on the nose followed by hints of dried-cranberry skin and forest floor. Tannins are refined and soulful on the palate. Pair with chicken paillard, skirt steak and mushroom risotto.

Reserved aromas of grilled meat, red currant, black plum, black olive and dried red cherry open on the nose. A chalky palate dusted with graphite shavings is supported by grippy tannins.
