Notes: Robert Parker 89/100, Bourgogne Aujourd'hui 17/20, Gault Millau 16.5/20, RVF 15/20, Bettane & Desseauve 15/20 (Bonheur tout de suite)
"Licorice, cherry, blackberry, black tea and notes of resin from the old barrels in which it was aged, and a lingering finish for this Morgon Domaine de la Chanaise 2011, very well vinified. Nice tannins, a well-integrated hint of game, mineral nuances and a soft juiciness of small fruits. It should be enjoyable until 2015 or even longer." (Wine Advocate - Robert Parker)

Food and wine pairings
Les crus du Beaujolais sont des vins de caractère et de fruit. Le Morgon accompagne merveilleusement une cuisine simple et de terroir, et plus spécialement les plats à base de viande : gibiers à plume, volailles, grillades, viandes en sauces et quelques fromages...<br/>
Bettane & Desseauve
Wine rated (2014 guide) 15/20 (Very good wine)
3-star rating (High-quality production, serving as a benchmark in its sector)
About wine:
Fresh fruitiness, elegant and concentrated finish, very flavorful, with good structure, an accessible Morgon in its style.
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.

About the estate:
Heir to 14 generations of winegrowers, Dominique Piron handed over the reins of the family estate to Julien Revillon, his partner since 2013, in 2020. Revillon now manages around 50 hectares, divided between his own vineyards and grapes purchased for the wine merchant side of the business.
Guide des Vins Gault & Millau
Wine rated (2012 guide) 16,5/20 (Very good)
About wine:
The nose of this generous Morgon is reminiscent of ripe red fruit, supported by spicy notes. The frank attack gives way to a full and warm palate with a subtle blend of fruit and freshness. Beautiful length.

Wine rated (2014 guide) 15/20 (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 wine:
The Morgons are also very well crafted.
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.
