Domaine Marcel Lapierre, Morgon 'Cuvée Camille' 2022
Place: Beaujolais, France
Grape: Gamay
Vibe: Natural,
Coming off an old vine plot in the Côte du Py with southwest exposure and a very shallow layer of granitic topsoil. Geeky bits aside, this is probably my favourite 2022 from the whole of the Beaujolais. Reflecting the vintage there is brooding ripe fruit yet this retains so much freshness. A driving minerality, fine tannin, and dense salinity hint at a beautiful life ahead. Makes me crave a rustic meal in Lyon. A true icon. ABV: 13.5%
