Here’s the red you’ll be reaching for by the glassful all year long. It's named after pet cockerel Leon, official guardian of the Piron grapes, Le Coq Léon is the boldest, juiciest, most berry-packed red to come out of Beaujolais in years.

The Piron team are true Beaujolais artisans. Proper wine people – the kind that spend every hour in the vineyard. They’ve earned their stripes as award-winning producers and only trust the best to protect their precious vines from pests. Enter Léon the cockerel – who spends his days patrolling the vineyards, ensuring the grapes remain untouched by pests. In recognition of his unwavering dedication, the team have crafted a wine that gives Léon the credit he deserves. A fitting tribute, brimming with bright, juicy berry packed Beaujolais flavour. Why no ‘Beaujolais’ on the label? Well, alongside the Gamay grape, there’s a little dark, rich Gamaret, not allowed under Beaujolais rules. But we’re sure you won’t mind once you’ve tasted it.
