2006 Domaine Marcel Lapierre Morgon

Lapierre makes deeply concentrated and unusually powerful Morgon that is, like those of Jean Foillard, produced in non-interventionist fashion, without sulfur additions. This commitment to unadulterated wines begins in the vineyard, where Marcel and his son Matthieu avoid artificial fertilizers, instead using organic treatments that preserve the yeast living on the bunch. Working in the village that boasts the greatest number of serious producers in Beaujolais, Lapierre is arguably the best.
