Notes from Paul M. Young Fine Wines:

"Laurent currently owns 2ha of vines on the famous Cote du Py in Morgon, with a southern exposure and a soil made of blue granite and manganese. The terroir from Morgon is renowned worldwide and Laurent is proud to be able to work with these vines.

Paradoxically, on this magic terroir, winemaking is very easy, the wine is almost made by itself. 16 days maceration on average in gridded tanks with full grapes. Putting wooden grids on each tanks in order to maintain the cap down and to favour the immersion of the cap in the tank. He is practising only two remontages : pumping the juice over at the begining of the maceration and then that’s it. Just waiting the right time to press the grapes. After the malolactic fermentation is taking place in wooden vats and the ageing will last at least nine months."
