The 2021 Morgon La Voûte Saint-Vincent has an attractive nose with dark cherries, bergamot, iodine and light violet scents. The palate is medium-bodied with soft tannins and surprisingly plush for the vintage. It maybe misses a little grip but there is plenty of depth on the finish with a touch of white pepper on the aftertaste. (Neal Martin, Vinous, May 2023)

Cherry, violet, hay, a tiny touch of licorice too. This is quite exciting and profound. The palate is showing a massive acid backbone, some width and grip, some cherry notes, but the fruit is a little discreet. There are tannins popping up in the rear, disturbing the mouthfeel, powering up a tangy finish with cherry and a nice bitter note along with a tiny salty touch, almost sea breezesque if that makes sense. This is a serious beaujo, very different from fruit bombs and other crowd-pleasing usual expressions that people tend to rave about. This is gastronomy wine and playing in the same league as some other wines from a different varietal that grow a bit farther to the north.

Really liking this vintage. Already tasting pretty open and giving. Tastes like beaujolais and not syrah, plus it’s still good value when browsing Beaujolais shelves that seem to average in the $45-50 mark
