Tasting notes
Full bottle 1,319 g. Brooding on the nose – at this (very young) stage it's hard to get an impression of the wine from the nose alone. But the intensity on the palate is almost explosive. Almost, were it not for the iron restraint of the tannins. Damsons and blackberries, smoky under-earth minerality, mouth-watering petrichor. A peacock-tail of iridescent flavour defiantly resisting tannins precision-engineered for a long, glorious future. (TC)

The 2023 Morgon Côte du Py Cuvée Passerelle 577 is slightly higher-toned on the nose than the regular cuvée, with cassis, blood orange and raspberry coulis aromas blossoming in the glass. The palate is well balanced with a touch of sapid red berry fruit. This is fine-boned for a Morgan (perhaps quite Moulin-à-Vent like?), with plenty of mineralité defining the finish. This is another impressive wine from Mee Godard.
