Jean Marc Burgaud works in Cote du Py and surrounding parcels in Morgon. Crowned by Robert Parker’s Wine Buyer’s Guide as one of only eight five-star estates in Beaujolais, he is going from strength to strength and his response to critical acclaim and consumer adulation has been to work even harder.

Dark, meaty and smoky with a wet-earth undertone, this is a bold and fleshy Morgon that packs a punch at the long, moderately dry and very savory finish. Just beginning to open up, but surely has many years ahead of it. Rating: 94 Points; James Suckling

Notes of cassis, cherries, smoked meats, spices and loamy soil preface Burgaud's 2020 Morgon Côte du Py Javernières, a medium to full-bodied, rich and layered wine with lively acids, powdery tannins and a long, saline finish. Deeper and more structure than the regular Côte du Py bottling, it's one Beaujolais that will merit at least a year's patience. Rating: 93+ Points; Robert Parker's The Wine Advocate
