Domaine Jean Pierre Large, Morgon "Les Délys" 2021	93 James Suckling Although this Morgon has just been bottled, its class really shines through. The impressive concentration, elegant acidity and fine tannins already mesh beautifully. Generous red-fruit character with delicate, autumnal and rooty overtones. Long, plush finish! Drink or hold. ★★★ (Extraordinary) Washington Post Morgon is one of the cru appellations of Beaujolais and produces sturdy, earthy red wines from the gamay grape. This lovely example is broody and reticent, but with a bit of aeration and paired with a hearty roast or stew, it shines. ABV: 13 percent. BW: 640 grams (Heavy).	Bottle Image Label Image Shelf Talker
Domaine Jean Pierre Large, Morgon "Les Délys" 2022	92 James Suckling Concentrated blackberry fruit is married to a very well-crafted tannin structure on the full-bodied palate. This is still pretty tense at the finish, and everything needs to shake down, but the substance and balance are there. It just needs a bit more time. Drinkable now, but best from 2024.
