Critics reviews
Jasper Morris MW 93/100
Mostly whole bunches except the younger vines. Dense dark centre with crimson rim. It's backward but exciting. There is so much more volume of fruit here, yet it still has the Morgon muscle behind it. The fruit is complex, with dark berries, bramble, and blackcurrants, and it has no sensation of over-ripeness. The Javernières clearly really needs time. There are tannins present, but they are managed by the fruit. It's an amazing wine for the long term.

Just under 4,000 bottles were produced.
The 2022 Morgon Les Impénitents Javernières is a homage to Louis Claude coined by French wine writer Michel Bettane) and debuted with the 2009 vintage. It comes from very old vines planted in 1912, just after phylloxera. The bouquet is easily the most floral amongst the range with wilted rose petal, lavender and iris flower, beautifully defined and utterly seductive. The palate is medium-bodied with pliant tannins and a gentle grip - very focused, with an almost understated yet very harmonious finish. Bon vin.
