The esteemed Marcel Lapierre raises a plush and beautiful Morgon that you and I both love. The 2007 Marcel Lapierre Vin de Pays de Gaules is a quaffable gamay from grapes grown (I think) just outside the Beaujolais appellation — hence the Vin de Pays label. I was disappointed after I first unscrewed the cap, as it came off as simple cherry juice, but as with any well-made Beaujolais it just needed a bit of time, for by night two some savory notes of clove, cinnamon, and cardamom join the cherry fruit. I would even go so far as to say this light-bodied wine is seductively light-hearted, charming me with silly jokes and looking at me straight in the eyes.

Wow! Didn't know the Lappiere's were doing a VDT.....is this imported by Kermit?
Hi, Mike. This particular bottle was imported by Chicago Wine Merchants. Not sure if Kermit has also brought this in.
See Wine Discount Center for a $9.99 deal on a Lapierre "Cuvée Mathieu” Morgon 2007. I'd buy some but I doubt they ship to NJ
