Marcel Lapierre, Gamay, Morgon, Beaujolais, France 2019

While the Beaujolais is known for producing easy-drinking wines, the combination of old vines, exceptional terroir, and skilled winemaking can yield something truly special — elegant, structured wines capable of maturing for decades, without losing that irresistible early-drinking charm.

Marcel Lapierre’s children Mathieu and Camille carry on their father’s legacy by honoring the principles he famously championed: hand-harvesting ripe, organically farmed grapes, allowing a natural fermentation with no additives, and bottling unfiltered with minimal sulfur, if any.
