94 points William Kelley (Wine Advocate): "The 2021 Morgon Côte du Py James has turned out especially well in this cooler vintage. Wafting from the glass with notes of cherries, mulberries, sweet spices, licorice and rose petals, it's medium to full-bodied, layered and seamless, with terrific concentration, melting tannins, lively acids and a long, penetrating finish. Harmonious and complete, it's the highlight of Burgaud's 2021 portfolio."N.B.: We have an email from William Kelley confirming that this score and and accompanying notes are indeed for the 2020, but that due to an editing error, they were misattributed to the 2021 vintage.
93 points Neal Martin (Vinous): "The 2020 Morgon Côte du Py James comes from vines located at the top of the hill, named "James" because this is what his son called his father when he returned from a trip abroad with an accent (also, Jean-Marc is a fan of 007!). It has a well-defined crushed stone and incense-influenced nose, very complex and engaging. The palate is medium-bodied with saturated and beautifully defined tannins and perfect acidity. Very tensile and lightly peppered on the pixelated finish. Brilliant. Drink: 2021-2035. (Aug 2021)"
