The estate's four greatest cuvées (Javernières, Côte du Py, Javernières Aux Pierres and the most famous, Les Impénitents) all come from the Côte du Py climat. These Morgons combine the richness of Gamay with exceptional depth and length. Fleshy wines, made for laying down.
The 2022 vintage is rated 94/100 by N. Martin (Vinous) « It has a very pure bouquet with red cherries, figs and kirsch, the old vine material (averaging 70-80 years) lending complexity. The palate is medium-bodied with fine structure, mineral driven with a classic, slightly austere finish that obliges cellaring. Superb. » (May 2023)

The 2022 vintage is rated 95/100 by N. Martin (Vinous) "It has a very complex, mineral-driven bouquet with dark cherries, tea leaves and crushed stone, floral scents emerging with aeration. [...] This is very pure in style, beautifully balanced with a satin-textured finish that is one of the most caressing you will find this vintage. Outstanding. " (May 2023)
