The 2024 Morgon Côte du Py has a vivid, stony bouquet with redcurrant and raspberry fruit unfolding in the glass. The palate is medium-bodied with fine-boned tannins and a touch more sour cherry in the mix, especially on the piquant finish. Again, this is very promising and might become the edgiest of Burgaud's 2024s. Drink 2026-2040.
This year's Burgaud Côte de Py offers exceptional value yet again, a testament to the work done in the vineyard and cellar in a vintage that was not straightforward. In the glass it is magenta-tinged ruby in colour, with an effortless, fragrant nose of wild strawberries, red cherry blossom, szechuan pepper and violets. The palate has a light crunchiness to it, the tannins propping up the fruit that delivers a silky overlay to the structure. Bright, juicy and incredibly moreish, the core flavours mirror the aromas, with floral overtones giving way to fresh plum, cherry and strawberry. The finish is long and the balance between fruit, acid, tannin and alcohol just right. This will age well for 5-8 years, but you will get just as much pleasure drinking it tonight.
