The 2023 Morgon Côte du Py reveals cool-toned aromas of blue and blackberries, complemented by hints of licorice and vanilla. On the full-bodied palate, tangy fruit unfolds with a velour texture, supported by chalky tannins and culminating with a finish marked by a deeper graphite tone. Domaine Piron, under the stewardship of Dominique Piron and Julien Revillon, traces its origins back to 1590. The estate has grown to encompass approximately 90 hectares across 16 communes, firmly establishing itself as a key player in the region. The portfolio spans from Beaujolais-Villages to several crus such as Morgon, Chiroubles, Chénas, Régnié and Fleurie. The farming is done sustainably under the HVE (High Environmental Value) certification. In the cellar, vinifications range from one to three weeks, incorporating varying proportions of whole clusters. Pump-overs are the primary method of extraction, complemented by occasional punch-downs. Aging takes place in a combination of barrels and tanks. The wines balance immediate appeal with the potential for aging. Notably, the domaine has the capacity to hold back select cuvées for later release, allowing the wines to fully develop before reaching the market. The current releases spans from 2023 to 2020. A larger producer with a thoughtful approach, Domaine Piron delivers wines of substance and style, equally suited to casual enjoyment or serious contemplation.(KW)
