We just solidified arguably our most exciting new direct-import relationship this year from a true Beaujolais icon, and we're kicking it off with a spectacular offer exclusively for our private clients. Dubbed the "the don of Morgon" by Neal Martin and "a winemaker at the peak of his powers" by William Kelley, Jean-Marc Burgaud is unquestionably among the elite in Beaujolais, and his wines are roundly coveted by fans and collectors, yet they remains some of the sharpest QPR buys in all of France.
"The 2022 Morgon Côte du Py James, succulent and complex, is one of the best showings for the vintage for this famous lieu-dit." - Kenna Wells, Wine Advocate
Over the years, Jean-Marc has undergone quite the transformation in his winemaking technique, resulting in the benchmark expressions we know and love today. He's an ardent proponent of Morgon's exceptional individual terroirs, and his classic, semi-carbonic winemaking aims to express each parcel to its fullest. Burgaud's Cote du Py James is his perennial magnum opus, sourced from a parcel at the very top of the appellation's most iconic lieu-dit. The 2022 vintage yielded perfect conditions for this wine, endowing it with full-on fruit expression that somehow still remains finessed and restrained, guided by nascent secondary complexity that portends long aging potential, as is the case with almost all of Jean-Marc's wines. We'll say it again – we couldn't be more thrilled with this new partnership because our direct access to Jean-Marc's cellars brings the collectible gem to our private clients at a jaw-dropping, sub-$30 price that you won't see anywhere else. |
