The tannins are fine, the length elegant, and the finish flavorful, offering a wine that is both luscious and perfectly balanced.

    Producer

    Producer

    Domaine Marcel Lapierre stretches across the granite slopes of Morgon, a terroir renowned for giving Gamay remarkable tension and depth. The vines, rooted in poor, well-drained soils of decomposed granite, produce grapes with a high concentration of aromas. Cultivated organically, they benefit from meticulous care that respects the vine's natural balance, allowing the 2017 vintage to express its true character.

    Owner and history

    Today, the estate is run by Mathieu and Camille Lapierre, Marcel's children, who are passionately continuing the legacy begun by their father. Faithful to his philosophy, they perpetuate organic farming and natural winemaking practices, combining tradition with technical rigor. Their commitment is reflected in a constant quest for purity, precision, and a sincere expression of the terroir. Thanks to their vision, the estate continues to embody the excellence of great natural Morgon wines.

    Vinification and aging

    The estate's winemaking relies on natural practices: hand-harvesting, traditional carbonic maceration, indigenous yeasts, and very minimal use of sulfur. Aging takes place in large oak casks or demi-muids, allowing for gentle oxygenation while preserving the purity of the fruit.
    For the 2017 Morgon vintage, this approach accentuates the aromatic finesse, freshness and mineral expression of the terroir, giving a precise, harmonious wine faithful to the Lapierre spirit.

    The team's opinion

    Driven by the energy of Gamay and the natural precision of the estate, this 2017 Morgon offers an irresistible, vibrant, and perfectly delicious depth.
