Marcel Lapierre, Morgon, 2013 palinkerie holiday box and SarmassaDo you remember your first taste of Lapierre Morgon, the thrill of a living, no makeup Beaujolais? Marcel Lapierre helped invent that style as one of Kermit Lynch's "Gang of Four", and his children Mathieu and Camille keep it going: hand harvested, organically farmed Gamay, natural fermentation, minimal sulphur. This is the classic flagship Morgon, and at over a decade old the 2013 (a cooler, classic vintage) has reached a lovely mature, savory place.
