Marcel Lapierre is a foundational figure in Beaujolais, widely credited with shaping the region’s modern, terroir-driven movement. His Morgon comes from old Gamay vines rooted in decomposed granite, farmed organically and vinified with a gentle, hands-off approach. Today, the domaine continues under the care of Mathieu and Camille Lapierre, staying true to Marcel’s philosophy of minimal intervention.

The 2024 vintage is bright and expressive, offering red cherry, raspberry, and wild strawberry, with subtle floral notes and a soft granite-driven minerality. The palate is fresh and supple, carried by lively acidity and fine, natural tannins that give the wine shape. The finish is clean and energetic, capturing Morgon’s signature balance of charm and structure.
