A Chénas floral framework, with hints of peony, pure fruit and easily digestible tannins. The name of this cuvée, produced in partnership with Lameloise, suggests a pronounced minerality and complexity. A great bottle!

Expert opinion
Bettane & Desseauve
Rated 16/20 (Very good wine)
Domain rated 3*Stars (High-quality production that can serve as 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
Domain rated (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 (2024 guide) 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 are seduced by the consistency of the range and its cornerstones: spontaneity of fruit, delicacy and precise definition of each cru.
