What it pairs with
-
Roasted leg of lamb with garlic and thyme
Old-vine concentration and firmer structure match roasted lamb. -
Aged comte cheese
The wine's earthy iron notes pair with the nutty depth of aged Comte. -
Mushroom fricassee
Schist-mineral Morgon has a natural affinity with earthy mushroom flavours.
History
A selection from the domaine's oldest Gamay vines, this cuvee represents the ceiling of Lapierre's range. The old vines yield concentrated, structured Morgon with greater ageing potential than the classique.
- 2005 — Old-vine selection first separated as a distinct cuvee
