"The harmony of the appellation's legendary coastline!"

“A well-structured wine for 2021, with a firm tannic backbone, yet smooth and free of any vegetal notes. The prominent aromas of red fruit and summer flowers lend it great charm. A long, harmonious finish.” (James Suckling). Enjoy it with a traditional Beaujolais andouillette!

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 some 50 hectares, divided between the estate’s own vineyards and grapes purchased for the 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 tasting 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, whose assistance has become essential for overseeing an estate spanning 90 hectares. Their joint efforts have improved the quality of the grapes, and the parcel-by-parcel 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 vintage.

Review by Mr. THOMAS H. Posted on September 18, 2024

I was disappointed by the 2021 vintage. I found the wine lacked body; it was too light compared to what I was used to from this winery. And I didn't find that burst of fruit that I remembered from other vintages.
