Dominique Piron - Chiroubles 2018
91/100
Decanter
Médaille d'Argent
Concours Paris
This Beaujolais vintage is the highest in the region (between 250 and 450 meters above sea level). Most of the vines are planted on hillsides and require a lot of manual labor. The mineral strength and power of the rock produce light and delicate wines with intense fruitiness and a beautiful freshness.

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.

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.
