Domaine de la Beche, Morgon Cotes de Py
| Vintage: | 2020 |
|---|---|
| Description: | This is labeled under the family name rather than the domaine name for inheritance and tax reasons. Py is a collapsed volcano cone, a great mound dominating the landscape just south of the town of Villié-Morgon, and it is composed primarily of schist with some granite and blue-stoned andesite. The southern end of this mound is considered the best zone for vines-it has the best exposition plus it's the rockiest (super rocky!), whereas the northern end is much sandier-and the Depardons have all of their 7.5 acres in three parcels on the southern end, facing south and southeast. The grapes are de-stemmed, fermented with indigenous yeast, and the wine is raised for nine to ten months entirely in old foudres of 5- to 6,000-liters. The Depardon's Côte du Py is all about finesse and concentrated elegance. No fining; light filtration at bottling. Production averages 1,250 cases. |
