Expert opinion
Bettane & Desseauve
Rated 90/100 (Vintage 2020)
3*Star rating (High-quality production, a benchmark in its sector)
About the domain :
A leading figure in Beaujolais in general and Morgon in particular, Dominique Piron, now joined by his partner Julien Révillon, is developing a solid range of Beaujolais crus. Over 100 hectares, seven crus are represented, with a logical majority of Morgons. With a refined style and expressive nose, while retaining the stylistic signature of their origins, the domaine's wines are all successful.
Guide Hachette des vins
Rated wine (guide 2023) 1*Star (Vintage 2020) (Very successful wine)
Domaine noté (guide 2023) Award-winning wines (The wines of this producer are regularly awarded by the guide)
About the domain :
Heir to 14 generations of winegrowers, Dominique Piron handed over the reins of the family estate in 2020 to Julien Revillon, his partner since 2013. The latter is now in charge of some 50 hectares of vines, divided between his own vineyards and grape purchases for the négoce.
RVF - La Revue du Vin de France / Guide des Meilleurs Vins de France
Domaine rated (guide 2024) 1*Star (Stars in the making or quality winegrowers with a good level of production, you won't be disappointed when you taste the wines from these estates)
About the domain :
Julien Revillon, aided by his talented oenologist Pierre Meunier, continues Dominique Piron's work with consistency and brio. The duo is aided by vineyard manager Thibaud Lemaître, which has become necessary to oversee a 90-hectare estate. Their joint efforts have improved the quality of the grapes, and the parcel-by-parcel selection process is beginning to bear fruit. We've been won over by the consistency of the range and its cornerstones: spontaneity of fruit, delicacy and precise definition of each cru.

Note and review by M. GILLES D. Published on 25/04/2024
Circumspect about Fructus Agapé, which has received rave reviews from a number of experts. The clean, straightforward grip continues on the palate, with the ultra-fruity juiciness of a fine, airy material that glides over a lively, so frankly acidic framework that it could appear somewhat excessive. So much so, in fact, that it overwhelms the slightly spicy finish, which quickly collapses on firm tannins. A joyful presentation. Not really easy to place, this glouglou cuvée should be reserved for everyday recipes, such as burrata-bog ham-parmesan bruschetta or eggplant lasagne, after the necessary lengthy aeration. Score = 3.3.
