James Suckling
Reviewed March 2023So pure, and pristine with wonderful mountain freshness. The black-raspberry fruit is married to cardamon, allspice and cinnamon notes, and all this is wrapped around the firm tannic core. From vines planted in 1965 at the very top of the Cote du Py site. Drink or hold.

Vinous
The 2021 Morgon Côte du Py Cuvée James comes from near the top of the hill close to the cross. It sees 12 months in barrel plus four in tank. This is slightly more concentrated on the nose than the regular Javernières with blackberry and bilberry fruit, quite floral in style. The palate is medium-bodied with sappy dark berry fruit. There's more density than the other cuvées with a richer yet still structured finish. Cellar this for 3-4 years.(NM)
Notes
Bill Nanson Burgundy Report: "This from the summit of the hill – all the rest of the elevage is exactly the same as the last – to the day, only the origin is different, even the vines were planted in the same year – 1965. Same elevage and bottling as the previous wine. A more compact nose – still the family nose but more compact. Supple, more considered – a hint less energy – less fluid but here is still something great – a presence of great wine. Vibrating in the finish long, long… Wait 5 years for this while drinking the great Javernières!"(01/2023)
