Wine & Spirits - October 2016 - 71
YEAR'S BEST RED BURGUNDY
at the end, with concentrated herb scents in
the middle, touching on rosemary, tarragon
and sage. Dark cherry fruit and iron-hard
tannins gird the underside of the wine, needing time in a decanter or in the cellar to meld
with the aromatic high tones. A lovely Morgon for roast lamb. § Cognac One, NY

2015 Morgon Côte du Py (Best Buy) ^ This
wine's purple, primary fruit concentration needs hours of air to show the mineral
aspects of its tannins. They open up with an
energy that cuts through the blunt power
of the fruit, the acidity lengthening the flavors of black cherries and violets, and setting
up the mouth for food. Great with the crisp
skin and rich meat of Cantonese roast duck. §
Quintessential, Napa, CA

$28
2013 Morgon ^ Bright and lively, this wine's
pretty raspberry fruit is edged in granitic tannins, sustaining its brightness and length
over those tannins' formidable intensity. It's
blended from estate parcels in the Côte du
Py, Les Pierres, Bellevue and Roche Noire,
the fruit destemmed, fermented without
added yeast, and aged in used oak barrels.
This will benefit from several years of bottle
age. § Kobrand, Purchase, NY

91 | Domaine Mee Godard
$30
2014 Morgon Côte du Py ^ One of our tasters
described the scent of this wine as if walking
into Kalustyan's, a spice store at the center
of an Indian restaurant community in NYC's
East 20s: "Coriander, cumin, dried lemongrass..." The high-toned spice seems to come
directly out of the tannins, their coarse abrasion hiding the light red fruit until that fruit
becomes more prominent with air. It seems
a small wine at first, then suddenly it's monumental, savory and powerful without any
aggressive edges. This is Mee Godard's second vintage in Morgon, and it's a wine she
has built to age. § Grand Cru Selections, NY
215259
$22
2015 Morgon Côte du Py (Best Buy) ^ Superripe in its flavors of dimpled cherry skin and
black cherry syrup, this has serious tannins
that shape the fruit, feeling as if it were cut
from black stone. It's a wine that will age on
tannins rather than acidity, needing a few
years in the bottle to integrate. § Quintessential, Napa, CA
MOULIN-A-VENT
215448
93 | Domaine Labruyère
$73
2014 Moulin-à-Vent Le Clos Monopole ^
Le Clos is a 2.3-acre parcel of 70-year-old
vines, their fruit destemmed and fermented
in a concrete vat. It created a powerful 2014,
with a major tannic presence, and fruit that
stands as an equal to the tannins, youthful
and invigorating, floral and ripe. There's a
sense of fresh wild strawberries under all the
impacted black-tea tannins, held firm and
tight. Suited to long aging. § Frederick Wildman and Sons, NY
215446
90 | Domaine Labruyère
$28
2014 Moulin-à-Vent Coeur de Terroirs
Vieilles Vignes (Best Buy) ^ Blended from
estate parcels with vines averaging 50 years
of age, this wine is dark and Bretty, sustained
by a powerful tannic structure that seems to
set the funk aside and present a resonant,
savory wine. Dark and mushroomy, this is a
wine for people who are not averse to some
healthy microbial activity in their Beaujolais. §
Frederick Wildman and Sons, NY
90 | Maison L'Envoyé
$20
2014 Moulin-à-Vent Terre de Thé Vieilles
Vignes (Best Buy) ^ A youthful Beaujolais,
this offers generous licorice- and cherryscented fruit up front, then dives into meaty
tannins, as sweet and spicy as saucisson. The
acidity brings out floral notes in the fruit,
while the silky tannins are ready to pick up
on the grizzle of a grilled steak-though this
will only get better with a few more years of
bottle age. § Old Bridge Cellars, Napa, CA
ST-AMOUR
215052
90 | Ch. de Saint-Amour
$22
2015 St-Amour (Best Buy) ^ With its fullon power, this delivers concentrated strawberry, purple plum and black cherry flavors
along with the grip of sandy black tannins.
A clean, fruit-driven wine packed with ripeness, this has an easy appeal. § Quintessential,
Napa, CA n
