Description
A rich and complex Morgon wine
The estate
At Domaine Marcel Lapierre, wine is above all a family affair. With a history dating back to 1909, this family estate in the Beaujolais region stands out for its pioneering approach to vineyards and viticulture.
Today, this heritage of several decades is based on four fundamental pillars: the people, the soil, the climate and the grape variety. Proud of their heritage, Marcel Lapierre's children, Mathieu and Camille, are brilliantly carrying forward this ancestral philosophy. They have created extremely precise organic wines that exude all the aromatic nuances of Gamay.
The wine
A true homage to Marcel Lapierre’s father, the cuvée Camille 2022 is a testament to the beauty of the family’s heritage.
The vineyard
This Morgon wine comes from a one-hectare vineyard that is organically farmed, where the soil is mainly composed of granite.
Winemaking and ageing
The grapes are harvested by hand, then carefully sorted and placed in wooden truncated cone-shaped vats for a 24-day semi-carbonic maceration (without SO2 or yeast). The wine is aged in old 216 litre barrels for 9 months. The wine is bottled without filtration but with a slight addition of sulphites.
Grape variety
Gamay (100%)
