“Bottled in January 2021 after 12 months in barrel and four months in tank, the 2019 Morgon Côte du Py Javernières has a floral bouquet of violet and iris scents, plus touches of blood orange and iodine; hints of licorice emerge with time. The palate is medium-bodied, very sensual, rounded and smooth, offering succulent ripe tannins and layers of black plummy fruit. That licorice note returns on the finish. Lovely, although personally, I prefer the Côte du Py this vintage.”
