James Suckling, 94 Points 

"Deep nose of spices, licorice and dried cherries with a pronounced flinty note. Cool and sleek but with impressive concentration for the 2021 vintage, this already has wonderful harmony right through the long, structured and stony finish. Bottled with low sulfur addition and unfiltered. Drink or hold." 

Vinous, 93 Points 

"The 2021 Morgon Non-Sulphité has a beautifully-defined bouquet with vivacious red berry fruit, hints of black olive and oyster shell - very focused. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannins. Cool and linear, sophisticated in style with a saline finish. This Morgon looks the challenges of the growing season in the eye and overcomes everything thrown at it. Magnificent."  

Winemaker Notes: 

"Typically, Morgon presents four dominant aromas: cherry, violet, raspberry and a very slight touch of licorice. Combining lightness and richness, Lapierre's Morgon has an aging potential of around ten years on average."
