Domaine Louis-Claude Desvignes 2006 Javernières Gamay (Morgon)
- Cellar Selection
A majestic wine, great Beaujolais by any standard. The fruit is tense, structured, dense, with black figs, strawberry jelly and ripe red plums fitting well into the texture. It manages to be both fruity and firmly structured. This is Beaujolais for aging, an impressive wine ready to mature over five years or more.

Domaine Jean Foillard 2006 Côte du Puy Gamay (Morgon)
- $29
Puy means a hill, and the steep slopes of the Côte du Puy offer great exposure for the vines. The result is a densely structured, very muscular wine that shows richness as well as dark tannins. The aftertaste is sweet, streaked with acidity.

Domaine Louis-Claude Desvignes 2007 Javernières Gamay (Morgon)
Desvignes is blessed with part of Javernières, at the heart of the Côte du Py, a schist and clay site exposed well to south and west. This wine is solid, tannic and structured, finely balanced. The acidity is important here, suggesting ageworthiness, while the fruits are still enjoying their ripe, black berry primary stage of development.

Domaine Dominique Piron 2009 Côte de Py Gamay (Morgon)

- $21
A very fine Beaujolais, from this premier hillside in Morgon that brings together red cherry and plum fruits on one side and firm tannins on the other. Big and concentrated, for aging over three years and more.

Paul Beaudet 2009 Côte du Py Gamay (Morgon)
- Cellar Selection

From two different domaines on the Côte de Py slope, this is a dense, firm wine, very solid and powerful. The wine has opulence under its structure, with rich plum and sweet jelly flavors. Worth aging for another year.

Château des Jacques 2011 Côte du Py Gamay (Morgon)
Solid and dense, this shows the structure and concentration from the famed Côte du Py in Morgon. It has a lot of tannins at the moment, although the potential of the red berry fruit and acidity is evident. Age this for four years.

Georges Duboeuf 2009 Côte de Py Gamay (Morgon)
- Online Exclusive
From the most famous slope in Morgon, this is a powerful wine, its tannins still working their way into the fruit. Black cherries, and sweet plums are dominated by a firm, concentrated structure. Give this wine another year.

Georges Duboeuf 2009 Domaine de la Chaponne Gamay (Morgon)
- Cellar Selection
- Online Exclusive
As rich as it is tannic, this is powerful and concentrated. It shows the rich 2009 fruit at its best, full of sweet berries, deliciously ripe. Enjoyable, while it is also serious.
