Morgon
Palate Character
This wine is of very limited quantity. As such, the Digital Somm did not get a taste, but you can! Unfortunately, while that means there is limited detailed information and no Digital Somm recommendations associated with rating the wine, you do still receive loyalty points, so cheer up!
Marcel Lapierre
Beaujolais
Marcel Lapierre took over the family domaine in 1973, but it was not until the early 1980s that, under the tutelage of Jules Chauvet, he embraced the notion of natural winemaking. Sadly Marcel passed away in 2010, but his son Mathieu and daughter Camille carry the torch, incorporating biodynamic practices.
Marcel was one of the so-called Gang of Four, which together included Thévenet, Breton, and Foillard. They were the early pioneers of natural and traditional winemaking, focusing on low-yielding old vines, no use of pesticides or herbicides, and nonintervention in the winery including the use of natural yeasts and aging in large-oak foudres.
