Domaine Des Gaudets Morgan Cote Du Py Red Wine 750ml

Beaujolais, France | 100% Gamay | Organic Practices 

From the storied slopes of Côte du Py—the crown jewel of Morgon—comes this striking expression of Beaujolais grandeur from Christophe Sornay, fifth-generation winemaker and quiet steward of the Sornay family’s 12-hectare domaine. Grown on pure granite and schist soils from 65-year-old vines, the wine reflects the soul of the land with power, perfume, and finesse.

Harvested by hand and vinified with 40% destemming, the wine undergoes a 14–15 day carbonic maceration, then spends a full year aging in oak barrels, gaining depth while preserving Gamay’s essential brightness. The result is a wine that marries the vigor of Beaujolais with the charm of Burgundy, as Christophe himself describes.

In the glass, it glows garnet red, unfurling with an intoxicating bouquet of wild strawberries, spice, ripe cherries, and hints of evergreen and crushed stone. The palate is rounded and full, but never heavy—vibrant and mineral-laced, with supple, well-integrated tannins and a core of cherry, peach, plum, and apricot. The finish is long, earthy, and lifted, dusted with that granite-driven edge that makes Côte du Py so singular.

Pair with: roast duck, charcuterie, grilled mushrooms, or lentil stew. Serve with a slight chill to highlight its snap and nerve.
