2022 Lapierre Cuvee Marcel Lapierre
Marcel Lapierre's Cuvée Spéciale is a legendary natural wine from the Morgon appellation in Beaujolais, crafted from 100-year-old Gamay vines on the renowned Côte du Py. This wine represents a more serious, intense, and complex expression of Morgon, produced only in exceptional vintages. The winemaking follows Marcel Lapierre's pioneering natural approach with late harvesting and minimal to no sulfur dioxide addition. The result is an unfiltered wine with substantial density, finesse, and aging potential, reflecting the unique granite-based terroir and century-old vines that produce it.
