Fleurie Dominique Piron (Domaine) 2014
Fleurie AOC
12.5%
0.75L
Intensity
A Fleurie, the most feminine of the Beaujolais with its fruity and floral nature will pair well with a simple regional dish like sauce-based white meat.
More infoThis wine has a beautiful garnet colour, some might say crimson and has a perfectly balanced structure. Although the principal aromas are floral (think iris, wilted rose and violets) there are also notes of white fleshed fruits such as peach. A few years in the cellar and this wine will take on spiced notes. You would do well to lie this wine down, as in about 8 years it will reach its peak.
About the Producer Dominique Piron
Domaine Piron can be found at the foot of the Côte de Py. It is run by the expert hand of Dominique Piron, aged 66, who has proved a worthy heir to 14 generations worth of wine making savoir-faire. In 1988 he became the first in Beaujolais to buy grapes rather than grow them himself, injecting a pioneering spirit into the region. He oversees some 80 hectacres in 16 different communes in Beaujolais but he is based principally in the symbolic Morgon appellation as well as the Chénas, the smallest appellation in Beaujolais. Despite the breadth of Piron’s domain, his wines are always in harmony with one another. He continues to produce reliable wines, vinified in a way that places emphasis on tradition and origin. In addition to the winegrowing, Piron is also involved in negociant activity. In July 2017 he became President of the board of Inter-Beaujolais U.I.V.B. for which he has big ambitions! Piron’s main area of focus is on the quailty of wines in the Beaujolais and the steps needed to protect the environment.
