Score 90/100 · William Kelley, Wine Advocate
After the ripe, dramatic (and sometimes unstable) 2015, the 2016 Morgon from Lapierre is a more classical rendition of this emblematic bottling, offering up a lovely bouquet of black cherry, plum, rich soil and wood smoke. On the palate, the wine is medium-bodied, supple and bright, with racy acids, fine but savory tannins and a tangy, lingering finish. Lapierre's back label prophesies a good five years of longevity, and I see no need to dissent. Note that this refers to the export cuvee that sees a light sulfur addition at bottling.
