The Morgon from Marcel Lapierre comes from pure Gamay grapes grown in Villié-Morgon in Beaujolais. The vines are over sixty years old and are cultivated according to the principles of biodynamic agriculture on sandy soils with granite schists. The grape harvest is manual, after which the winemaking is carried out in a minimally invasive manner. The fermentation, preceded by carbonic maceration, is spontaneous and takes place in steel tanks for 10-20 days. The aging involves a resting period of about nine months in oak barrels before bottling, a process without the addition of sulfites.
