Wine:  Morgon Côte du Py

Resulting from five different pickings; treated to two weeks of fermentation with sporadic pump-overs; and tasted from tank just before bottling, Burgaud’s 2009 Morgon Cote de Py displays a striking intensity of fresh red and black raspberries alluringly inflected by vanilla, mint, toasted hickory, pencil lead, and smoked meat; an amazing alliance of density and silken texture with high-spirited brightness and vivacity; and a vibrant, gripping, saliva-inducing, lip-smackingly saline finish. This phenomenal value should provide an extraordinary drinking experience over at least a half dozen years. The 2005 incidentally – which was raised entirely in tank – is lovely and still sweetly-fruited if au point today.
