Marcel Lapierre Morgon N 2024

Grape: Gamay
Vintage: 2024
Type: Red

Little would we know that when Marcel Lapierre took over the family domaine from his father in 1973, he was on the road to becoming a legend. Following the example of traditionalist Jules Chauvet, Marcel and three other local vignerons, Jean Foillard, Jean-Paul Thévenet, and Guy Breton, soon hoisted the flag of Chauvet’s back-to-nature movement, and the Gang of Fourwas born. The Gang called for a return to the old practices of viticulture and vinification. Sadly, the 2010 vintage was Marcel’s last. His children, Mathieu and Camille, continue the great work that their father pioneered, introducing biodynamic vineyard practices and ensuring that Marcel's legacy lives on.

Fruit, ripe, cherries, chock-full, plenty, juicy, structured, pleasure, benchmark. You get the idea. It’s an icon, and the new vintage is here.
