Violet, spices, herbs and dried cranberries create a beautifully expressive profile, while the medium body remains remarkably refined and approachable. The oak integration is seamless, allowing the wine's natural character to shine through. A long, bright finish with crunchy minerality rewards each sip, making this an exceptional choice for those seeking sophistication and finesse in their glass.
About the Producer
Dominique Piron’s family has been growing grapes here since the 16th century, and Dominique took over the estate in 1971. Piron farms 45 hectares of vineyards scattered among several different crus in Beaujolais, namely Morgon, Chénas, Brouilly, Régnié and Moulin-à-Vent. He owns some parcels, rents others, and also buys 20-hectares worth of carefully selected grapes from their neighbours.
The oldest known ancestor of Dominique Piron, Etienne Bailly, was born around 1590 in Morgon. 4 centuries of Bailly and Piron family have succeeded each other, producing and selling Gamay wine in Morgon. Dominique Piron, operating around 10 family hectares in Morgon, created Maison D.Piron in Morgon in 1987. Wine merchant and wine grower, buying grapes from a few winemaking friends, it was a first in Beaujolais - The Fessy house followed, then Jadot, Duboeuf...
Today the Maison produces the equivalent of 50 hectares of vines and is managed by Julien Revillon, "Original Beaujolais", descendant of 7 generations of winegrowers, who joined Dominique in 2013.
