Laurent Perrachon 2023 Morgon Cote du Py
This celebrated vineyard, the best-known in Morgon, is prone to “over-delivery” in warm years, but, as in 2020, Perrachon has found a way to limn the borders of ripeness and produce a wine of swaggering authority and power, without excess in both 2022 and 2023.
