Maison Dominique Piron Beaujolais-Villages 2023

This juicy, fruit-filled 2023 is the true taste of quality Beaujolais. Made from Gamay grapes grown on 50-year-old vines on superior Villages hillsides, the wine has lovely depth and intensity. A charming red from a 14th-generation estate. Beaujolais is on the comeback thanks to great family domaines like this one. Maison Dominique Piron was founded during the reign of Louis XIII and today has 95 hectares of vines throughout Beaujolais’ finest villages, a third of them in Morgon. Dominique Piron was the 14th generation of the family to be in charge, but with no family to hand onto, he joined forces with a long-standing friend, Julien Revillon. Julien continues the heritage, with a vision to produce Beaujolais as fine and luscious as any cru Burgundy. He goes to great lengths to achieve this, in the vineyard and in the cellar. Taste this silky, ripe, fruit-laden Beaujolais-Villages. With juicy red fruits, it’s a sublime picnic wine, perfect too with pâtés, soufflé and chicken.
