Notes | |||
"100% Gamay. 2020 was the first vintage of "L'Aube à Javernières" and the first Desvignes wine to not be 100% cru Morgon. The .84-hectare parcel of 20-30-year-old, certified-organic vines grows in deep clay soils just outside the Morgon appellation on the edge of Javernières, which lies just below the Côte du Py hill. The bunches are harvested by hand and mainly left in whole clusters for a semi-carbonic fermentation in closed concrete vats. Maceration is around 10 days with a submerged cap and no punchdowns. A very small amount of sulfur is added after malo and sometimes at bottling. The wine is aged in concrete for 7-9 months and bottled with a light, non-sterile filtration." —importer |
Critical Acclaim | |||
"The 2021 Beaujolais l'Aube à Javernières delivers notes of red berries, plums and burning embers, followed by a medium to full-bodied, lively palate that's taut and incisive. It's derived from a parcel of vines planted in the 1940s in the continuation of prime climat Javernières but just outside the AOC of Morgon, situated in a small valley, and while it transcends its lowly appellation, its cooler location shows in its tightly wound profile this year." —Wine Advocate |
