94 points Josh Raynolds (Vinous): "Saturated magenta. Mineral-accented red and blue fruits, succulent flowers and exotic spices on the highly complex nose. Juicy and expansive on the palate, offering smoke-tinged red currant, boysenberry and bitter cherry flavors complemented by violet pastille and white pepper notes. The impressively long, mineral-driven finish features polished tannins and resonating red fruit and floral flourishes. Drink: 2023-2032. (Aug 2021)"
93 points John Gilman (View From the Cellar): "The 2019 Morgon 'Côte du Py' from the Desvignes family is an outstanding young example of the vintage and this excellent vineyard. The bouquet is pure, precise and still fairly primary, offering up scents of plums, black cherries, pomegranate, duck, stony soil tones, a touch of raw cocoa, lovely spice tones and a topnote of bonfire. On the palate the wine is deep, ripe and structured, with a full-bodied format, a rock solid core of fruit, excellent mineral drive and grip, ripe tannins and a long, nascently complex and very promising finish. This has the structure of a long-distance runner Morgon in a great vintage and will demand some bottle age to really blossom, but it is going to be an outstanding bottle once it is ready to drink! 2025-2055. (Mar/Apr 2021)"
93 points William Kelley (Wine Advocate): "Deep and complete, the Desvignes's 2020 Morgon Côte du Py offers up aromas of sweet berries, spices, plums and loamy soil. Medium to full-bodied, ample and seamless, with velvety tannins, lively acids and a saline finish, this is a supremely dependable classic that evokes a somewhat fresher version of the very attractive 2018. Drink: 2021-2035. (Aug 2021)"
