Stephane Aviron Beaujolais Morgon Cote du Py 2023

Morgon Côte du Py is Stéphane Aviron's most powerful and structured expression, a wine that combines immediate appeal with the ability to evolve beautifully over a decade or more. The fruit comes from the famed slopes of Côte du Py, an ancient volcanic hill widely regarded as one of the finest terroirs in Beaujolais. South-facing vineyards rooted in schist and blue volcanic stone provide the foundation for a wine of depth, earthiness and impressive longevity.

Individual parcels are vinified separately before blending. Whole bunches undergo a ten-day maceration in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks, preserving both fruit purity and site expression. The wine is then matured for twelve months in older Burgundy barriques, between three and seven years of age, allowing it to gain texture and complexity without imparting overt oak influence. The result is a serious, age-worthy Morgon that captures the distinctive character of this celebrated cru.
