Description

Four centuries of Pirons have grown and made wine in Beaujolais, with the latest, Dominique Piron, being the fourteenth generation.

Cote du Py lies in the heart of Morgon, with the oldest soils in Beaujolais, filled with rocky, blue stone. It's well-regarded for crafting delicious, structured wines with powerful flavours, and considerable ageing potential.

This wine by Piron can be considered his finest cuvee, and one of the finest expressions of Morgon from a living legend of the region.

This is a very fine Cru Beaujolais that should be savoured with fine glassware and even finer friends.

Excellent Bouj

For the price it's superb. Drinks well now but will go another 10 years easy.

Punches above its appellation.

Took a few hours to open. Lovely violets and rose nose. Dark spice. A serious Booj. Enjoyed with Asian chicken chili wings. Give this wine 2-5 years to fill out. Another great selection by DD. Thank you!

The Cote du Py is the most revered climat of Morgon, which itself is generally regarded as one of the two greatest of the 10 crus of Beaujolais. The climat runs to about 180ha, of which the estate owns 9.2ha. The average age of Piron's vines is around 55-60 years. The sloped vineyard takes in all aspects but Dominique Piron's vines mainly face east and southeast. Typically for Beaujolais, vines are planted with 10,000 vines per hectare (1m x 1m) and are pruned in gobelet.

The wine is mostly aged in concrete and stainless steel but with 25% going into young French oak barrels. After one year, the different parts are selected carefully and blended together. Then the wine spends one more year in bottle before being sold.

Dominique Piron

Fourteen generations of Pirons have grown and made wine in Beaujolais, with the latest, Dominique Piron, having a 40 year legacy of producing top-flight wines from the most iconic Crus.

Le Guide des Meilleurs Vins de France dubbed him, "one of the architects of the revival of Morgon, tackling with boundless energy the expression of wines of terroir, vinified in the pure tradition of Beaujolais....”.

These wines are awesome, pure expressions of the great Crus of the region. This is what Beaujolais is about. These reds are energetic, vibrant and complex. There is some serious Gamay on offer here from a regional icon.

No, feel free to mix it up! There is no minimum requirement. You can order wines in any quantity or combination, 1 or 50+ bottles.

No, all prices are set at the full discounted dozen rate already.

Most wine retailers list at a single-bottle price and then discount 10–15% when you buy six or twelve. We've taken the opposite approach. Since the overwhelming majority of our orders are already 6 bottles or more, our list price is set for the case buyer from the start. There's no inflated single-bottle price to discount down from.

What that means for you:

- One price, same for everyone — no minimum to hit to unlock the best rate
- No mixed-six gymnastics to qualify for a discount
- Our single-bottle price is typically at or below a traditional retailer's by-the-dozen rate

Put simply: the box discount is already baked into the price.

**And if you find it cheaper elsewhere?** Let us know. If the same wine is available at a lower price at another retailer (including at their mixed-six or by-the-dozen rate) we're happy to match it.

If you can't add more wine to your cart it means we are low on stock of that wine. For example, if you are only able to 3 bottles and no more that means we only have 3 bottles left of that wine. If it's a must have, please contact us and we may be able to order more in for you.
