2024 M. et C. Lapierre, Le Beaujolais Vintage_2009 full body that marries agingAs of the 2021 vintage, youll note a new Lapierre bottling: Le Beaujolais, a mid tier offering between the Raisins Gaulois and the Morgon. Le Beaujolais macerates twice as long as the Raisins Gaulois, but just as long as the Morgon. The 70 year old vines lie just outside the Morgon boundaryand are the exact same age as those in the Morgon cuve, making this a steal. This drinks like a fine red Burgundy and a wine worth far more than the modest price
