It&#8217;s always interesting to try things without any clue what they are. I really liked it immediately, but it also tasted a tiny bit natural, with some (but not excessive) volatile acidity and a slight savoury spiciness. But these elements integrate beautifully into the whole of the wine, and it&#8217;s drinking beautifully now at age 8.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Lapierre Morgon 2009 Beaujolais, France<\/strong><br \/>\nThis is the version that has some SO2 added (labelled &#8216;S&#8217; on the back label). Wonderfully detailed with a warm spicy, savoury character. Fine herbs with some sweet tea leaf notes. There&#8217;s a warmth at the end of the palate. So textural, complex and savoury with some pepper and herbs as well as some texture. Smoky, meaty cherry and berry fruits with lovely texture. There&#8217;s a bit of lift here but also lovely harmony and beauty. 94\/100<\/p>\n<p>Find this wine with <a href=\"http:\/\/www.wine-searcher.com\/index.lml?referring_site=WAN\" target=\"_blank\">wine-searcher.com<\/a><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.wineanorak.com\/wineblog\/california\/rpm-a-serious-gamay-from-california\" target=\"_blank\">Gamay 1 \u2013 RPM Gamay Noir California<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.wineanorak.com\/wineblog\/beaujolais\/gamay-focus-1-metrat-la-scandaleuse-2013\" target=\"_blank\">Gamay 2 \u2013\u00a0Domaine Metrat Chiroubles \u2018La Scandaleuse\u2019<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.wineanorak.com\/wineblog\/canada\/gamay-focus-3-orofino-2013-similkameen-valley-bc-canada\" target=\"_blank\">Gamay 3 \u2013 Orofino, Similkameen Valley, British Columbia<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.wineanorak.com\/wineblog\/natural-wine\/gamay-focus-4-julien-sunier-fleurie-2013\" target=\"_blank\">Gamay 4 \u2013 Julien Sunier Fleurie<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.wineanorak.com\/wineblog\/south-africa\/gamay-focus-5-radford-dale-thirst-gamay-noir\" target=\"_blank\">Gamay 5- Radford Dale Thirst Gamay, South Africa<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.wineanorak.com\/wineblog\/beaujolais\/gamay-focus-6-desvignes-morgon-javernieres-les-impenitents-2011\" target=\"_blank\">Gamay 6 \u2013 Louis Claude Desvignes Morgon Javerni\u00e8res \u2018Les Imp\u00e9nitents\u2019<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.wineanorak.com\/wineblog\/france\/gamay-focus-7-domaine-des-hauts-de-chasselay-coteaux-du-lyonnais\" target=\"_blank\">Gamay 7 \u2013 Hauts de Chasselay, Coteaux du Lyonnais<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.wineanorak.com\/wineblog\/france\/gamay-focus-8-domaine-serol-les-originelles-2014-cote-roannaise\" target=\"_blank\">Gamay 8 \u2013 Serol Les Originelles, Cote Roannaise<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.wineanorak.com\/wineblog\/new-zealand\/gamay-focus-9-te-mata-gamay-noir-2014-hawkes-bay-new-zealand\" target=\"_blank\">Gamay 9 \u2013 Te Mata Gamay Noir, Hawkes Bay<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.wineanorak.com\/wineblog\/france\/gamay-focus-10-puy-dome-gamay-2013-from-the-auvergne\" target=\"_blank\">Gamay 10 \u2013 Puy de Dome, Auvergne<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.wineanorak.com\/wineblog\/uncategorized\/gamay-focus-11-chateau-de-beauregard-fleurie-poncie-2013\" target=\"_blank\">Gamay 11 \u2013 Beauregard Fleurie<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.wineanorak.com\/wineblog\/beaujolais\/gamay-focus-12-two-lovely-cru-beaujolais-from-antoine-sunier\" target=\"_blank\">Gamay 12 \u2013 Antoine Sunier Morgon 2014 and Regnie 2014<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.wineanorak.com\/wineblog\/beaujolais\/gamay-focus-13-thibault-liger-belair-moulin-a-vent-les-rouchaux-2011\" target=\"_blank\">Gamay 13 \u2013 Thibault Liger-Belair Les Roucheaux 2011<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.wineanorak.com\/wineblog\/oregon\/gamay-focus-14-bow-arrow-gamay-2014-oregon\" target=\"_blank\">Gamay 14 &#8211;
