The only L’Arlésienne aged in barrel, Corcelette is a blend of two high-altitude parcels on the north side of Morgon. There are 0.20 hectares of north-exposed 80-year vines in the Janins climat at 450 metres and 0.25 hectares in Truges (bordering Chiroubles Chatenay), where the vines are only slightly younger, and the parcel faces south. Both parcels are farmed biodynamically, which is exceptionally rare in this village. Benoît bottled these two sites separately in 2021 and may do so again in the future. In 2022, Janins was severely hailed, so he had no choice but to make the blend. It features just a little more bunch than the Chiroubles, and this wine was raised for 12 months in 500-litre oak. It’s an impressive wine: tightly wound yet with plenty of fruit and a long, powdery finish. Impressive!

Reviews

“A different perfume from this more vertical nose. You sense more the stricture – less grain of tannin but more drying, extra juicy finishing, gorgeously finishing, wait an impatient 2 years for this! Such delicious wine…”
Bill Nanson, Burgundy Report
“The nose offers black cherry and bilberry fruit with hints of iodine and violet. The palate is medium-bodied with a fresh, saline entry, quite structured, and sapid in the mouth with a grippy finish. This Morgon will require two or three years in bottle.”
90-92 points, Neal Martin, Vinous
“Mid purple, with a more classical Beaujolais cru nose, deep cherry and strawberry. An attractive concentration of dark red fruit, also a slight dry point at the back, well refined tannins, and excellent length. Great fun. Drink from 2025-2028. Tasted: October 2023.”
