Partner domain

Domain: Dominique Piron

The Beaujolais is a true Eldorado! This new allocation offers you the chance to discover a major figure of this beautiful region, Dominique Piron. The winemaker who, this year, celebrated his 50th vinification, is also president of the appellation. Working with a superb range of terroirs and old vines, he produces superb, easy drinking wines as well as excellent wines for aging.

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.

What the guides say...

La Revue du vin de France

“The domain is writing a new chapter in its history by working with a partner winemaker, Julien Revillon. […] The partnership should allow this venerable domain, which has been running for 14 generations, to continue working. We highly recommend their vast, consistent range of wines.”
