Rating: Robert Parker 90/100, RVF 16.5/20
In 2008, Dominique Piron’s Morgon Côte du Py remains true to its origins. Full-bodied and structured, with aromas of cherries and hints of white pepper, it is supple and silky on the palate with a lovely mineral backbone and a delicious finish. A 2008 that will tide you over until the 2009s come into their own...

Food and wine pairings
Morgon pairs wonderfully with simple, regional cuisine, especially meat dishes: game birds, poultry, grilled meats, meat dishes in sauce, and cheeses...

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—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, comprising both the estate’s own vineyards and grapes purchased for the merchant division.
RVF - La Revue du Vin de France / Guide des Meilleurs Vins de France
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 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.
