"The 2015 old vine bottling of Morgon “Côte du Py” from Laurent Gauthier is an excellent example of the vintage, with the ripeness of this year quite nicely managed and the wine offering excellent potential for the long haul. The very pure and sappy bouquet offers up scents of black cherries, woodsmoke, chicory, dark soil tones, a bit of pigeon and a lovely topnote of thyme. On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied and ripely tannic, with a sappy core, excellent soil signature, fine focus and grip and a very long, nascently complex finish. This is excellent and delivers all of the potential of the 2015 vintage, without any of its pitfalls!" |
