(2015 vintage notes)

The unique soil gives Morgon its characteristic aromas of ripe stone fruits, particularly cherries, as well as hints of nutmeg, star anise, and coffee. It is a complex, balanced wine with velvety tannins on the finish.

Wine rating (2018 guide) 16/20 (2015 vintage) (Very good wine)

3-star rating (High-quality production, serving as a benchmark in its sector)

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.

Wine rating (2018 guide) 15/20 (2015 vintage) (Good wine)

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.

I really liked the 2015 after four years, and I probably drank the 2017 too early, as it didn't leave a lasting impression.

Definitely go for the Côte du Py! What's more, the BTL is slightly corked... what a shame.
