Tasting notes
The 2024 Morgon Côte du Py from Domaine Jean-Marc Burgaud is a benchmark expression of this iconic Beaujolais cru. The nose is intense and expressive, dominated by ripe red fruits—cherry, plum, and fresh berries—interwoven with floral notes of peony, subtle sweet spice, and distinctive mineral nuances reminiscent of warm embers and crushed stone.
On the palate, the wine is full and fleshy, yet remarkably precise. Fine, melting tannins provide structure without heaviness, supported by bright, well-integrated acidity that lifts the fruit and enhances balance. The schist-rich soils of the Côte du Py lend depth, tension, and a gently savoury backbone, leading to a long, focused, and mineral-driven finish.
This is a structured and age-worthy Morgon that already offers great pleasure in its youth, while possessing the depth to evolve beautifully over time. An excellent pairing for roasted lamb, duck, or other flavourful meat dishes.
More About The Winery
Jean-Marc Burgaud is a budding young star in Beaujolais. Located in the village of Morgon, he is hard working and meticulous and has great ambitions for his wines that his vineyards easily justify.
His 19 hectares (Beaujolais villages 5 hectares; Régnié 1 hectare; Morgon 13 hectares) are planted with Gamay noir on granitic/schistose hillsides. The vinification, elevage and bottling all take place in the chateau cellars. The vines are, on average, 40 years old.
Typical Beaujolais vinification, with carbonic maceration of the whole berries for 5 to 6 days. Raised in a tank for 4 to 5 months. Within Morgon there are several lieu dits and the Cote du Py is considered as the best vineyard in the appellation. This large sloping hillside, where the vines are in excess of 50 years old, has soil of schists, degraded rock, iron oxide and manganese which impart a distinct minerality to the wine.
This is a well-structured wine, redolent of black fruits (mulberries and cherries). Carbonic maceration of the whole berries lasts 12 to 15 days, and the wine is raised in barrel as well as tank. Jean-Marc’s wines are all very bright and pure.
