"Unconditional Love for Fruit"

“The enticing nose of violets, black raspberries, and wild strawberries draws you into this wine. It has an imposing structure for a wine that, on paper, belongs to the Beaujolais-Villages appellation. The firm tannins make this medium-bodied wine distinctly dry and lend it great power in the long, fresh, and stony finish. Ready to drink now, but best enjoyed starting in 2025.” (James Suckling 2024)

Bettane & Desseauve

Rated 3*Stars (A high-quality product that serves as a benchmark in its sector)

About the estate:

A leading figure in the Beaujolais region in general and in Morgon in particular, Dominique Piron—who has since been joined by his partner, Julien Révillon—has developed a solid lineup of Beaujolais wines. Across more than 100 hectares, seven appellations are represented, with Morgon naturally making up the majority. With a refined style and expressive aromas, while retaining the distinctive character of their terroir, the estate’s wines are all outstanding.

Rated Estate (2023 Guide) Award-Winning Wines (This producer's wines regularly receive awards from the guide)

About the estate:

As the heir to 14 generations of winemakers, Dominique Piron handed over the reins of the family estate in 2020 to Julien Revillon, his business partner since 2013. Revillon now oversees approximately 50 hectares, divided between the estate’s own vineyards and grapes purchased for the wine merchant division.

Rated Estate (2024 Guide) 1*Star (Up-and-coming stars or high-quality winemakers producing wines of a high standard—you won’t be disappointed when you taste the wines from these estates)

About the estate:

Julien Revillon, with the help of his talented winemaker Pierre Meunier, continues Dominique Piron’s legacy with consistency and flair. The duo is supported by vineyard manager Thibaud Lemaître, whose assistance has become essential for overseeing an estate spanning 90 hectares. Their combined efforts have improved the quality of the grapes, and the plot-by-plot selection process they’ve undertaken is beginning to bear fruit. We’re impressed by the consistency of the lineup and its cornerstones: the fruit’s natural spontaneity, its sweetness, and the precise character of each cru.

La Tulipe Rouge

Wine rated (2024 guide) 92/100

About the wine:

A remarkable vintage in many ways: with a floral and fruity bouquet and an elegant palate marked by a certain finesse that lingers pleasantly on spicy notes (coriander), this 2022 exudes good taste and perfect balance.

Review by Mr. MATHIEU W. Published on March 6, 2025

Medium-deep ruby color. Nose: bruised red fruit, vegetal and earthy notes. Terroir and the primary character of Gamay. A hint of nutmeg and woody stems. On the palate, red berry fruit and 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 might easily be labeled as sour, astringent, and bitter… perhaps. For me, it’s a lovely, terroir-driven Beaujolais. A 30% lower price would be better! Score: 15.5/20
