“The Quartz is spicy, dense, and concentrated, with that typical drinkability of Beaujolais. ” (Les Meilleurs Vins de France 2012 - RVF). This Quartz cuvée truly reveals the mineral character of the terroir from which it comes... Always balanced and complex, with finesse and mature tannins. A fine wine that showcases the lovely terroir of Chénas.

About the estate:

A leading figure in the Beaujolais region in general and in Morgon in particular, Dominique Piron—joined by his partner Julien Révillon—has developed a solid range 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, comprising both the estate’s own vineyards and grapes purchased for the wine merchant division.

Rated estate (2024 guide) 1*Star (Up-and-coming stars or 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, assisted by his talented winemaker Pierre Meunier, continues Dominique Piron’s legacy with consistency and flair. The duo is supported by vineyard manager Thibaud Lemaître, a role that became essential to oversee an estate spanning 90 hectares. Their combined efforts have improved the quality of the grapes, and the rigorous plot-by-plot selection is beginning to bear fruit. We are captivated by the consistency of the lineup and its cornerstones: the fruit’s natural spontaneity, its sweetness, and the precise character of each vintage.
