Country: France / Côte du Py Vieilles Vignes
Variety: Gamay Beaujolais
Winery: Stéphane Aviron / Morgon
The Côte du Py, one of the best cru vineyard sites in Beaujolais, is on the slope of a 3,000-foot extinct volcano. It produces structured wines that can age well. Stéphane Aviron brought out the quality of Py with a wine that is powerful, ripe and dense with considerable tannic structure. It will certainly need to age, so drink from 2019.
