Tonight's bottle · Juicy, purple, effortlessly drinkable red

Marcel Lapierre Morgon

🇫🇷Beaujolais, France · Gamay

Marcel Lapierre helped invent natural wine as we know it, and this Morgon still tastes like a manifesto. Carbonic fermentation gives it a burst of bright cherry and crushed violets, all whisper-light tannin over granite soil underneath. It's the bottle you open without ceremony and finish without noticing. Best served a little cool, at a table where nobody's checking the time.

    by Annie Proulx
    Why this works

    Unpretentious and a little rough around the edges, built for people who don't trust anything that tries too hard.
