Recent experiences with Lapierre Morgons make me not willing to lay down
bottles for very long. They are good young and I find them musty with age.
There are better Morgon's out there to lay down IMHO. YMMV

That's how Moulin à Vent should be, right?

We keep drinking more and more Cru Beaujolais. Great quality, no
discernible oak, lovely fruit... killer wines. Just received my last order
from IdealWine... Descombes Morgon VV 2011, Coudert Clos de la Roilette
Cuvée Tardive 2012, Foillard Cote du Py 2011 and a couple of wines from
producers I had not tasted: Coquelet (Morgon Cote du Py and Chiroubles) and
Thillardon (Chenas Carrieres and Chenas Chassignol).
