Description

Dominique Piron makes this as a slurpy entree into his excellent range of Beaujolais wines.

This is almost entirely Gamay from Beaujolais and Beaujolais Villages sites, grown on granite and made to open young and fresh.

Brightly packaged, plump and fruit-forward, this is a fun-times glass of red from a French house with pedigree.

    Light and Different

95% Gamay from Beaujolais and Beaujolais Villages combined with 5% Gamaret, grown on granitic soil. The latter, a little-known variety created in the 1990s by crossing Gamay with Reichensteiner, had hopes of being authorized for production in Beaujolais, but this never happened. Consequently, there are plots of these vines growing in obscure villages in the region and occasionally, as in this case, it is blended with Gamay to make a plump, darker, and some would say more fun wine to be enjoyed without fuss with the hearty fare served locally. The wine is aged in concrete tank, and there is an alliance between the Gamay and Gamaret which reflects the fruit and greedy character of the Gamay and the denser, deeper character of the Gamaret. The wine is in fact plump and delicious pairing beautifully with seasonal vegetables, pissaladière, goat cheese and tiramisu with raspberries.

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.
