"Unconditional love of fruit"
"The appealing nose of violet, black raspberry, and wild strawberry draws you into this vintage. An imposing structure for a wine that, on paper, belongs to the Beaujolais-Villages appellation. Healthy tannins make this medium-bodied wine distinctly dry and give it great power in the long, fresh, stony finish. Drink now, but preferably from 2025 onwards." (James Suckling 2024)

About the estate:
A leading figure in Beaujolais in general and Morgon in particular, Dominique Piron, now joined by his partner Julien Révillon, has developed a solid range of Beaujolais wines. Seven crus are represented across more than 100 hectares, with a logical majority of Morgons. With a refined style and expressive noses, while retaining the stylistic signature of their origin, the estate's wines are all successful.

About the estate:
Heir to 14 generations of winegrowers, Dominique Piron handed over the reins of the family estate to Julien Revillon, his partner since 2013, in 2020. Revillon now manages around 50 hectares, divided between his own vineyards and grapes purchased for the wine merchant side of the business.

Rated estate (2024 guide) 1*Star (Up-and-coming stars or quality winemakers producing good-quality wines; you won't be disappointed when tasting the wines from these estates)
About the estate:
Julien Revillon, assisted by his talented oenologist Pierre Meunier, continues Dominique Piron's work with consistency and panache. The duo is assisted by vineyard manager Thibaud Lemaître, who is essential for overseeing an estate covering 90 hectares. Their joint efforts have improved the quality of the grapes, and the selective vineyard management they have implemented is beginning to bear fruit. We are impressed by the consistency of the range and its cornerstones: spontaneous fruit, sweetness, and the precise definition of each vintage.

About wine:
A remarkable vintage in many respects: a floral and fruity bouquet, an elegant palate with a certain finesse, which lingers pleasantly on spicy notes (coriander), this 2022 exudes good taste and balance.

Review and opinion by Mr. MATHIEU W. Published on 03/06/2025
Medium-deep ruby color. Nose: crushed red fruit, vegetal and earthy impressions. Terroir and the primary characteristics of Gamay. A hint of nutmeg and wood stems. On the palate, red berry fruit, high acidity, combined with those vegetal and earthy notes again. It's all so pure and unpretentious. You do need to be a bit of a connoisseur to appreciate this, otherwise the wine could easily be described as sour, tart, and bitter... perhaps. For me, this is a beautiful Beaujolais with a distinct terroir. A 30% lower price would be better! Score: 15.5/20

Note and opinion by Mr. GILLES D. Published on 04/25/2024
Cautious about Fructus Agapé, which is nevertheless the subject of rave reviews from certain experts. The clean, crisp attack continues on the palate with the ultra-fruity juiciness of a fine, airy texture that glides over a lively structure with such pronounced acidity that it could seem somewhat excessive. So much so that it overwhelms the slightly spicy finish, which quickly collapses onto firm tannins. A joyful presentation. Not really easy to pair, this gluggy cuvée is best reserved, after a long and essential aeration, for everyday dishes such as bruschetta with burrata, Bosses ham and Parmesan, or eggplant lasagna. Rating = 3.3.
