Marcel Lapierre took over his family domaine in Villié-Morgon in 1973. After meeting Jules Chauvet in 1981, he completely shifted his approach to winemaking, focusing on sulfur-free and natural yeast fermentation. The movement he spearheaded became the starting point for what we now call 'natural wine.' After his passing in 2010, his wife Marie and son Mathieu have continued his legacy, following the same methods.
The average 70-year-old Gamay vines, rooted in Morgon's barren granite-sandy soil, are harvested by hand. Whole cluster maceration takes place for 10-21 days without sulfur dioxide, followed by fermentation with natural yeasts in stainless steel tanks. Malolactic fermentation and approximately 9 months of aging are carried out in oak barrels (3-13 years old), and the wine is bottled without filtration.
The glass reveals a bright garnet color. On the nose, tart cherry, raspberry, and blueberry lead, followed by aromas of lavender, crushed rose petals, dried orange peel, and licorice. On the palate, the fruit expands brilliantly, with supple tannins and distinct acidity providing structure, while earthy and fallen leaf notes (sauvage) anchor the wine. The finish is cool like menthol, with a subtle sweetness of licorice lingering.
The payment amount includes the costs for Atelier Wine to find overseas suppliers and communicate buyer requirements to sellers, as well as providing services such as sample collection, goods inspection, insurance, transportation, storage, and delivery, along with various taxes (customs duties, liquor tax, education tax, VAT, etc.) payable upon delivery to Korea.
