"100% Gamay. 2020 was the first vintage of this wine from a new parcel for Desvignes in the historic lieu-dit of Javernières, which lies at the foot of the famous hill of the Côte du Py and features much heavier and stickier soils of deep, iron-rich red clay. in the lieu-dit of Aux Pierres, the Desvignes family now has a 0.57-hectare parcel of 90-year-old vines on an east-facing slope of stony clay soils with schist, pyrite and decomposed volcanic rocks. It is in the process of being certified organic, in line with the rest of their estate farming." —importer

"From an east-facing parcel of 90-year-old vines, 2021 Morgon Côte du Py Javernières Aux Pierres is also superb, delivering aromas of blackberries, plums, exotic spices and vine smoke. Medium to full-bodied, ample and fleshy, it's seamless and enveloping, with a layered core of fruit that largely conceals its ripe structuring tannins. This bottling, which joined the range last year, is rapidly establishing itself as one of the high points of the portfolio." —Wine Advocate
