Morgon Marcel Lapierre

Domaine Lapierre is a family estate based in Villié-Morgon in the heart of Beaujolais. It was when Marcel Lapierre took over from his father in 1973 that they started out on the road to prominence. Marcel who became a leading light in France's natural wine movement until his untimely death in 2010 was a hero to many winemakers being one of the first to embrace biodynamics, wild yeast, and minimal use of sulphur. Marcel's children, Mathieu, and Camille, who took over hold the same values as their father and continue to produce fantastic wine as naturally as possible. Their Morgon is widely regarded as one of the finest in Beaujolais and very few wines can match it for sheer drinking pleasure.

Morgon is widely thought of as one of the foremost crus of Beaujolais and this wine is made by one of its finest producers who is committed to sustainability and biodynamics. Bursting with cherry, liquorice and violet, the flavours are wonderfully bright and pure with the right measure of crisp acidity that highlights the pure fruit perfectly.
