Description

Georges Duboeuf was one of the most famous names in all of Beaujolais until his passing in 2020.

An icon of the region, Duboeuf was dubbed The Pope of Beaujolais by Decanter, as he in his lifetime did perhaps more than anyone to elevate the name and reputation of his region.

This cuvee hails from the ancient gravelly soils of the Cote du Py climate of Morgon, known for its power and intensity.

A brilliant blueberry hue characterizes this vintage. It exudes charm with black cherry marmalade aromas and subtle white pepper notes. Powerful and rich with solid tannins, the wine boasts substantial character and persistence, marrying strength with elegance.

90 points - "A firm and rather tannic Côte du Py with firm, chewy tannins that are polished and nicely frame the dark-berry and stone flavors. It’s medium-bodied. Slightly austere at the end. Drink or hold." - James Suckling

Morgon is the name of a hamlet, which, because of its wine notoriety, was added to that of the village of Villié. Coming from a particular terroir made up of decomposed rocks and friable schists, Morgon is undoubtedly the most typical of the ten Beaujolais crus, in any case the easiest to identify when tasting. Its local taste intensifies over time; it is then said to “morgonne”.

It was in 1985 that Hervé LACOQUE settled on this estate, the creation of which dates back 5 generations. It extends over 4 climats of the Morgon appellation: Micouds, Charmes, Corcelette and Côte du Py. The Côte du Py is a hill of eruptive origin: a local particularity which sits in the heart of the Morgon appellation. Its very deep and very draining soil allows the Gamay to mature and flourish in ideal conditions.
