"The nose is quite pure, exhaling fruit and a mineral base that gives depth to the wine. It has a peppery, graphite note. The palate follows the soil, with a certain uprightness and a slightly Jansenist structure". (Le Guide des Meilleurs Vins de France 2017 - RVF) A great bottle!

Expert opinion
Bettane & Desseauve
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
Rated (guide 2017) 16/20 + Coup de Coeur (Very good wine)
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 wine:
The nose is quite pure, exhaling fruit and a mineral base that gives depth to the wine. It has a peppery edge and a hint of graphite. The palate follows the soil, with a certain uprightness and a slightly Jansenist structure.
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.

Note and review by M. DIDIER P. Published on 09/11/2019
There's substance, a little fruit (very little), correct acidity, minerality. What's missing? The pleasure of tasting it, because there's a real lack of fullness. Comparing this wine with other Beaujolais crus of the same level, my rating is obviously severe.

Aromas of red fruit. Lingers on the palate with minerality

2 bottles drunk in 2019 out of the 9 bottles of 2014 ordered according to the very positive reviews. I wasn't particularly thrilled. It's a bit monolithic for my taste.

Complex aromas and good acidity; but not very easy to digest: too much vinification?

As good as the one I tasted, a good discovery of this small vineyard.

Note and review by M. PIERRE K. Published on 26/07/2018
Very fine structure. Extremely pure, lilac-like floral nose with light notes of black pepper. Lively initial attack, light, silky tannins. The floral finish is explosive and long, with a lovely freshness. A bottle that could hold some surprises for us in the next 2-3 years.
