Wine Enthusiast

Meticulously crafted, the Moulin-à-Vent Vieilles Vignes offers a truly beautiful expression of Gamay. Floral aromas (iris, rose) blend with spicy notes. The palate is well-structured, with delicate tannins, resulting in a complex wine with great roundness... You won't be disappointed!

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 wines 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 winery (2024 guide) 1*Star (Up-and-coming stars or high-quality winemakers producing wines of a good standard—you won’t be disappointed when you taste the wines from these wineries)

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.

10/17 - Well-made (structure, acidity/freshness, complexity—moderate extract), perhaps a little young to fully appreciate
