Lockdown Wine #97 - Desvignes is a family of Morgon vignerons from the 18th century. Javernieres is a lieu-dit, while the Impenitents is the top wine from Javernieres with some vines over 100 years old.
Aromas of chocolate covered cherries and iron. Pretty vibrant but also quite deep and serious. Rather savoury and dry. Dried herbs and strawberries and cherries dominate the palate. There's a little bit of heat (14% abv) but it blows off after a bit. Some air brings out some sweet spice notes. There is a bit of tannin action going on. Good length. Rather surprised I drank it so fast.
This is about as serious as a Beaujolais can get. Very good, and nice to drink now, but will no doubt reward some ageing.
