Morgon La Voûte Saint-Vincent

27.50

Louis-Claude Desvignes is a family estate that dates back to 1700. The Desvignes range is “La Voûte Saint Vincent”, named for the vault or “voûte” of the old family house and for the patron saint of winemakers. It was Louis-Claude who began to turn the estate’s grapes into wine, and now with the reins handed over to his two sons Louis-Benoît and Claude-Emmanuelle Desvignes.

It is a blend of certified-organic estate parcels totalling 4.5 hectares in the climat of Douby, which lies in the northeast corner of Morgon along the border of Fleurie. The La Voûte vines average 50 years old and are planted in Douby’s typical sandy, decomposed-granite soils. Viticulture and vinification are consistent across all Desvignes wines. In the case of La Voûte, the parcels are all vinified separately.
