Desvignes Morgon Chateau Gaillard 2024 750ML

Jeb Dunnuck 95

The 2024 Morgon Château Gaillard, from vines planted in 1920 and 1952 on the sandy granite of Douby, has a violet color that signals extra body and substance, and shows notes of bramble and redcurrant. Its added texture and tannin are far from displeasing, while remaining entirely within the nuance of the vintage, without any hardness. The sandy granite gives it that particular lift and keeps the finish clean. A wine that is enjoyable from now, but which would not object to another four or five years in the cellar before giving itself up fully. Drink 2026-2035. - Antoine Pétrus 

A View from the Cellar 91+

"The 2024 Morgon “Château Gaillard” from Claude-Emmanuelle and Louis-Benoît Desvignes comes in at a svelte 12.5 percent alcohol in this vintage. These vines are more than eighty years of age and the wine offers up a deep and nicely transparent bouquet of red and black cherries, whole clusters, gamebird, a fine base of dark soil tones, vinesmoke and a lovely floral topnote. On the palate the wine is bright, full-bodied and tangy, with a good core of fruit, excellent soil transparency, moderate tannins and a long, well balanced and youthful finish. This is tightly-knit and will need some time to blossom properly. It is not as deep and sappy as so many recent vintage have been, but more a throwback style of wine, with lots of soil signature and adequate, but not overly generous ripeness of fruit. But, it will be lovely once it is ready to drink." - John Gilman
