"One of the best Chénas in the appellation—a real treat, as confirmed by our customers"

“Fresh and lively, almost crisp despite the mature vintage. It reveals aromas of fresh red berries and strawberries. On the palate, it is concentrated and only moderately full-bodied; the stony minerality accentuates the impression of freshness, although the acidity is actually moderate. Very clean finish.” (James Suckling 2025)

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.

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.

Wine rated (2027 guide) 91/100

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 wine:

A dark ruby color of medium intensity; the nose is unmistakably Beaujolais, with the combination of Gamay fruit and graphite notes proving instantly appealing. On the palate, it is harmonious and flavorful, with a well-balanced structure and no excess body: a wine with a long finish and lovely freshness.

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.

Review and opinion by Mr. GILLES D. Published on March 16, 2026

The palate is smooth, straightforward, and vibrant, highlighting a very rich and slightly spicy character, supported by silky, refined tannins, and enhanced by a very pronounced mineral note—which nonetheless lends the wine a bit of length on the finish with a salty undertone. Let’s wait a bit for the sharpness of the acidity to mellow. This Chénas, with its sparkling and approachable profile, will pair easily with veal Marengo or veal rolls with tomato sauce. Score = 3.9.
