"Quartz continues to be one of the finest expressions of Chénas. Slightly marked by the vegetal character typical of this year, we nevertheless enjoy a great quality of fruit, translated by the basket of blue fruits and peony. The palate is caressing, with velvety, sapid tannins. A real treat". (Le Guide RVF)

Expert opinion
Bettane & Desseauve
Rated 90/100
3*Star rating (High-quality production, a benchmark in its sector)
About the wine:
A hint of reduction gives it a slightly animal touch. It needs decanting to regain its fruity character and natural sweetness. Precise, tasty, but a little consensual.
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.

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.

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 wine:
Quartz continues to be one of the finest expressions of Chénas. Slightly marked by the vegetal character typical of this year, we nevertheless enjoy a great quality of fruit, translated by the basket of blue fruits and peony. The palate is caressing, with velvety, sapid tannins. A real treat.
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.
