Elegant and complex. A ton going on in the nose. Cassis, raw lamb, smoke, black peppercorns, liquid granite, dark florals. I feel like taping the glass to my nose. Linear and flavorful in the mouth. Very good acidity and a lengthy finish. The the barest bit of ultra soft tannin. Starting to peak but will get a bit better over the next 1-2 years. — 9 years ago

Fresh sweet corn and raw bitter almonds on the nose. Sweet strawberries on entry alarm, but resolve to perfectly-balanced salinity and minerality. Delightful. — 10 years ago

Marcel Lapierre Morgon… I smell it in the breeze, the warm kind that makes my head float above the leaves and just flutter down to the ground below — no matter if that ground be sand, snow, concrete or dirt. It doesn’t matter, for this wine personifies my favourite wine descriptor: high toned.

Medium garnet in colour, a generous nose of fully ripened strawberries; red and dark cherries; and warm, granite-rich earth leaves room for no other aroma to interfere. For a daydreaming stint, I become sweet sixteen. Everything is deep pink and love is such an easy red. Life is silky and breezy and good. I could live forever in the slipsteam.

The wine is dry but its fruits are gushingly sweet. A soothing mouthfeel and supple tannins offer too lovely an experience. It is so tempting to bite into the bitter little seeds inside the berries, but instead Marcel Lapierre Morgon begs you to roll with the black cherry skin and enjoy the simplicity before harsh aspects of life are unavoidable. The cover of YM magazine will never be interesting again, so why not enjoy it while it lasts?

Alas, the heartier-skinned wines and those unbathed in hippie funk; the awkward intrigues as well as dangerous lusts inevitably called my attention. Life may never be that raw and pristine again, but the beauty I can always recapture in this unforgettable bottle.

Hard to decide whether to pair this meal with a mellow piano concerto or raw, soulful funk. And that's what I love about cru Beaujolais. — 12 years ago

Pretty golden color, subtle nose with some sweet apples. Lots of great yeasty and bready notes on the palette, fresh crushed apples. You say this a lot with champagne, but this bottle was the most pronounced I've tasted. Paired well with fois gras and raw scallop. — 10 years ago

Probably my favorite non-alcoholic beverage, although the label does say it contains a trace amount. A less sweet ginger ale and with more vivid flavors. Fresh ginger root, vinegar, and Chinese tea. — 10 years ago

Wonderfully evolved, Time to drink over the next few years - fruits very pretty & the raw natural character of this Grand Cru site is starting to tenderize. All in proportion - fruit earth wood acid tannin --- but it's time to drink them up. — 9 years ago

A nose that is quite "plummy" and full of black fruit. On the palate, a combination of full body, cherry liqueur, some noticeable alcohol, and a subtle peppery finish. Great raw materials, but needs time. — 10 years ago

A plump year. A sip makes me think of sweet cream butter, raw almonds, and an almost lacey quality. Flavors are yellow apple, Asian pear, curd. Gentle, lingering kiss of a finish. — 11 years ago
