Notes | |||
"100% Gamay. The beginning of the Desvignes range is La Voûte, which comes from various parcels in the Morgon climat of Douby, which is north of the venerated climat of Côte du Py, bordering Fleurie. Douby has deeper, sandier, granitic soils and yields a more supple style of Morgon compared to Py's famously muscular one. The vines for La Voûte average 60 years old, are sustainably farmed and harvested by hand. The fruit is partly destemmed: grapes and whole clusters ferment semi-carbonically in tank. The wine is aged in concrete vats before bottling. Annual production is approximately 2000 cases, making it the largest Desvignes bottling." —importer |
Critical Acclaim | |||
"The 2017 Morgon La Voute Saint Vincent hails from the north of the cru where the soils are most granitic, and it’s the tangiest and most tensile wine in the Desvignes cellar, offering up aromas of crunchy cherries, cracked black pepper and licorice, followed by a medium to full-bodied, bright and energetic palate that’s decidedly crunchy and primary." —William Kelley, The Wine Advocate |
