smooth tannins

Piron’s 2021 Fleurie is very floral on the nose, with notes of rose, iris, and violet. It is also fruity (vine peach) and spicy (pepper). Juicy and mouth-watering on the palate, with delicate, supple tannins and aromas of blackcurrant and red berries. This light, fruity wine will be the perfect pairing for parsley-crusted ham...

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.

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.

Wine Enthusiast

Wine rated (2023 guide) 90/100

About the wine:

This juicy wine features layers of acidity that will soften over time, giving way to the fruit and structure. This will happen over the next few months, resulting in a balanced, fresh, and textured wine. Best enjoyed starting in 2024.

Review and opinion by Mr. GILLES D. Published on February 8, 2024

While 2020 was a success, 2021 is proving to be less ambitious. After a lively attack, this Fleurie—a wine of great simplicity—is fresh, graceful, and invigorating all at once, framed by soft, still-somewhat-closed tannins, with notes of juicy morello cherries complemented by blackberry and plum, underpinned by a generous, almost biting mineral acidity at this stage, which lends energy and length. It seems it would benefit from a little patience. The price is not very convincing. This authentic, light Gamay is meant for everyday meals, preferably local dishes, such as brioche-style sausage or a Lyon-style pâté en croûte. Rating = 3.6.
