Beaujolais is on the come back thanks to great family domaines like this. Dominique Piron was founded during the reign of Louis XIII and today has 95 hectares of vines throughout Beaujolais's finest villages, a third of them in Morgon. Dominique is the 14th generation and with no family of his own, he joined up with a long standing friend from the appellation, Julian Revillon. Together they have a vision to produce Beaujolais as fine as any Grand Cru Burgundy. They go to great lengths to achieve that, both in the vineyard and the cellar. Taste this silky, ripe Régnié, the region's newest Cru. 2016 was a very good vintage too, with lovely concentration. Delicious on its own, with herby chicken, spanakopita and a whole variety of dishes.

"Such quality and depth in this fruit-filled Beaujolais cru. Fine Régnie from a favourite estate" Sarah Everden
